Physiotherapy after a Car Accident
There are multiple injuries that can result from car accidents with whiplash being one of the most common. At Natural Balance Physiotherapy, we will be able to diagnose your injury and help you rehabilitate from it as quickly and optimally as possible. When it comes to whiplash, many accident victims do not realize they have suffered an injury, as they may not feel pain until several days later. Whiplash is typically caused when drivers or passengers are hit from behind, causing the neck to snap forward and backward in a violent, unexpected and unnatural motion.
WHIPLASH SYMPTOMS
There are several symptoms of whiplash, with the most common being a stiff and painful neck. Some of them include:
-
Low back, shoulder and arm or hand pain/numbness
-
Dizziness
-
Blurred vision
-
Ringing in the ears
-
Irritability
-
Memory or concentration problems
-
Increased fatigue
-
Bruising where your body was in contact with the seatbelt
​
If you suffer from any of these symptoms following a car crash, it is recommended that you visit a doctor. Your doctor can then recommend Natural Balance Physiotherapy to help with your symptoms. We will be able to assess your injuries and let you know when you should begin a rehabilitation program. The symptoms often persist for several weeks to a few months depending on the severity. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities after a week or two with minimal pain.
