Deciding when to start physiotherapy after a motor vehicle accident is crucial for effective recovery. At Turning Point Physical Therapy in Edmonton, we recommend beginning physiotherapy as soon as possible after receiving medical clearance from a doctor. Starting early can significantly reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent the development of chronic conditions.
The length of motor vehicle accident physiotherapy varies depending on the individual’s specific injuries, their severity, and the patient’s overall health and recovery goals. Some patients may see improvements within a few weeks, while others with more severe injuries might require several months of therapy.
Our physiotherapists work closely with each patient to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment plans as needed, ensuring the most efficient and effective recovery journey.
Manual therapy at Turning Point Physical Therapy involves hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles and joints. It is particularly effective for relieving pain, enhancing joint movement, and reducing muscle tension, which are common issues after a car accident. Techniques like joint mobilizations and manipulations can significantly alleviate discomfort from conditions such as whiplash and spinal misalignments, fostering a quicker return to normal activities.
Our exercise therapy program is tailored to each individual's specific injuries and recovery goals. These exercises aim to rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and enhance endurance weakened due to the accident. This approach is crucial for comprehensive rehabilitation from various musculoskeletal injuries and helps in restoring full functional mobility.
Soft tissue mobilization techniques, including massage and myofascial release, are used to address muscle strains, sprains, and injuries common in motor vehicle accidents. This helps to break down scar tissue, promote blood flow, and relieve pain in the soft tissues, accelerating the healing process and improving overall muscle function.
Electrotherapy, such as TENS, is utilized to manage pain and reduce inflammation associated with car accident injuries. This non-invasive treatment uses electrical currents to stimulate the affected area, providing relief from both acute and chronic pain, and is particularly beneficial in the early stages of rehabilitation.
Acupuncture and dry needling are effective for targeting specific areas of pain and tension following a motor vehicle accident. These treatments stimulate the body's natural pain-relieving mechanisms and improve circulation, offering relief from chronic pain conditions, muscle spasms, and nerve-related discomfort.
Gait training and balance exercises are crucial for patients who have suffered leg, foot, or back injuries in an accident. These exercises focus on restoring normal walking patterns, balance, and coordination, which can be adversely affected by such injuries.
Providing ergonomic and postural advice is an integral part of rehabilitation at Turning Point Physical Therapy. This guidance is essential for patients, particularly those returning to work or daily routines, to prevent further strain and facilitate long-term recovery. Educating patients on maintaining proper posture and employing ergonomic strategies helps prevent recurrent injuries and discomfort.
