What types of injuries occur after an auto accident?

Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are rapidly “whipped” back and forth, causing back and neck pain and dislodging the vestibular system. Whiplash can be very painful and restrict movements severely.
Concussions are a type of TBI (traumatic brain injury). Concussions are caused when the brain rapidly moves back and forth, hitting the inside of the skull. Headaches, balance and dizziness problems are common signs.
Disk bulges and herniation are common injuries that occur during collisions, resulting in pain, discomfort, and numbness (loss of function).
Fractures occur because your body absorbs the heavy impact during the collision. Pain that worsens with movement or touches, inability to bear weight, swelling and tenderness, and visible bone exposure or deformity are common signs of fractures.
Blunt force trauma from a car accident can collapse lungs and break ribs.

How can physiotherapy help after an auto accident?

After a car accident, you may experience pain, reduced range of motion, headaches, or stiffness. There are many reasons to undergo physiotherapy after you’ve been in a car crash, as it supports the recovery process and can also prevent long-term damage from a car accident. Remember that all symptoms may not appear right after a car accident. The sooner you get physiotherapy after a car wreck, the more likely you will have a pain-free life. A careful and targeted patient treatment plan is required to ensure you make a complete recovery from your injuries without suffering more than you should.
