MVA Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation following a motor vehicle accident (MVA) is the process of caring for patients who have suffered injuries as a direct result of an MVA. An MVA's traumatic nature can lead to a variety of physical and emotional impairments. Our multidisciplinary team performs an extensive evaluation as the first step in the car accident-related rehabilitation process to pinpoint every aspect of the problem. The first step in motor vehicle accident rehab is a thorough evaluation by a physiotherapist or chiropractor to identify all of the MVA-related problems and create a therapy strategy to address them all. Depending on the client's complaints, the physiotherapist or chiropractor will next suggest a course of treatment:

• Functional exercises: Activities to strengthen muscles and restore mobility.
• Therapies for pain control: Ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation therapy, laser therapy, etc.
• Registered massage therapy: Massage to promote healing and relaxation.
• Occupational therapy: Evaluation of and solutions to problems in the work environment.
• Concussion management: Addressing symptoms of head injury.
• Kinesiology: Addressing limitations in strength and mobility.
• Manual therapy: Restoring proper joint mobility.

Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), which range in severity from I to IV, are a category for neck injuries and related disorders brought on by motor vehicle accidents (with IV being the worst). Whiplash injuries in grades I through III are treated with physiotherapy, manual therapy, and patient education. Anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants sold over the counter may also be helpful for certain patients. One of the most frequent injuries in motor vehicle collisions is whiplash, which also makes it one of the most frequent motor vehicle accident insurance injury claims. Whiplash presents unique challenges for treatment compared to other injuries.

Back and spinal cord injuries are another fairly typical consequence of an automobile collision. These include thoracic spine injuries, ruptured discs, lumbar spine injuries, fractures, and sprains. Unfortunately, a lot of the symptoms and indications of severe damage appear soon after the collision. As a result, everyone who is injured in a motor vehicle accident is urged to get medical attention as quickly as possible. The passengers may sustain a sort of brain injury in a serious traffic crash. Internal injuries, inflammation, bruises, head trauma, and nerve damage are the usual causes of brain injuries.
