๐ฅ๐ Being in a car accident can be psychologically and physiologically stressful. ๐ฅ
๐ค Physiologically speaking, the most common injury associated with a car accident is โwhiplashโ. Essentially, when a car is being impacted from behind, the seat exerts a force on the back of the driver/passenger while the head remains at rest, causing a โwhiplashโ on your neck, spraining ligaments and straining your muscles.
๐ฆตOther injuries will most likely occur e.g., the knee joint being forcefully impacted into the dashboard, or the driverโs wrists being hyperextended from being rear-ended. ๐
๐ง Lastly, concussions or brain injuries are also very common as a result of car accidents. Negatively affecting cognitive every day skills, disturbing sleep schedules, and balance skills.
Our experienced practitioners at Stoney Creek Physiotherapy & Massage approach MVA patients with the right protocols, tailoring individual treatment to restore pre-accident ROM and musculoskeletal strength.
