What injuries occur from a MVA?
A motor vehicle accident (MVA) can leave the driver and any passengers with a range of wounds. Broken limbs and other injuries are apparent. Other injuries, such soft-tissue damage or whiplash, are less obvious and don't even show symptoms for a few days after the collision. When someone is hurt in a car accident, it's crucial to collaborate with a medical team to recover. If automobile accident injuries are not treated right away, they could result in chronic pain for the rest of your life. Your physiotherapy sessions are partially paid for by your auto insurance.
How Does Physiotherapy Work After an MVA?
Physiotherapy begins with an assessment of your symptoms, movement, strength, and functional limitations following the accident. Your physiotherapist can consider the nature of your injury and how it is affecting your everyday activities.
Depending on your assessment, treatment may include therapeutic exercises, mobility work, strengthening, manual therapy, and movement education. Your treatment plan can be adjusted as your symptoms and physical abilities change throughout your recovery.
