At Flat Rock Physical Therapy for Pain, we understand that a motor vehicle accident (MVA) can have devastating consequences on ones life and the aftermath can be mentally, physically, and financially harmful. Due to the tremendous forces involved, motor vehicle accidents often result in a variety of complex injuries and symptoms. Several of the more commonly sustained injuries include whiplash, headaches, back pain and injuries to the neck, shoulders, knees and other extremities. Frequently, individuals experience little or no symptoms immediately following a motor vehicle accident, but later, begin to suffer from a variety of symptoms including pain, decreased function, and decreased range of motion. Many times, trauma associated with these types of injuries may take days to weeks to fully manifest itself. That is why it is important to receive immediate and appropriate treatment following an auto accident. The longer you delay treatment the harder it may be to get back to normal.
