The First Four Weeks Matter
Research shows that one out of three people involved in a car accident will develop chronic pain if not treated effectively within the first four weeks.
We all know that car accidents can cause a variety of obvious injuries, but sometimes the effects aren’t noticeable right away. They begin to appear over time and some of those effects can be avoidable or at least minimized by early attention. Seeking physical therapy soon after the motor vehicle accident can help you reduce pain, avoid surgery, and reduce long term damage. Physical therapy helps reduce pain symptoms, improve flexibility, increase strength, and lead to a faster recovery. It can also prevent long-term damage from a car accident, including migraines and chronic pain. The sooner you get physical therapy after a car accident, the more likely you are to prevent pain and problems in the future.
