By addressing these issues through customized treatment plans, physical therapy can help alleviate your pain, improve your functional abilities, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Car accident injuries can impose significant limitations on your daily activities, making it challenging to perform essential tasks, engage in hobbies, or even maintain a fulfilling social life.

Motor vehicle accidents can result in a wide array of injuries and conditions, including but not limited to:
- Bulging and/or Herniated Discs: Research indicates that motor vehicle accidents can result in spinal disc issues, such as bulging or herniated discs. These conditions often cause back and neck pain, numbness, and weakness impacting an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks and maintain an active lifestyle.
- Whiplash: Studies have shown that whiplash injuries affect the neck muscles and ligaments, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Daily activities like driving, working on a computer, and even sleeping can be challenging.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Motor vehicle accidents can lead to strains and sprains in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons supporting the spine and joints throughout the body. These injuries result in back and neck pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
These conditions often present limitations in daily activities, such as difficulty walking, lifting, or performing routine tasks. Common symptoms experienced by individuals with these injuries include pain, swelling, reduced mobility, and muscle weakness.
