Car Accident Injury Therapy

Car Accident Injury Therapy

When you have been in a car accident that has left you injured, the shock and impact can leave a toll on your body. Some symptoms may appear immediately, while others appear later if left untreated. While the road to recovery is not an easy one, there is hope during the process through physical therapy. 

No car accident or the injuries it presents are the same. Physical therapists can work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and get you on the path to healthy recovery. At Pick PT, we are here to help you get back to feeling your best, both mentally and physically.

Car Accident Injury Therapy

How To Know If and When You Need Treatment

No matter the severity, there’s no doubt that a car accident will leave you a little bit sore and stiff because of the trauma your body underwent. Such symptoms as these can last a few days after the initial impact. If you either experience intense symptoms immediately after, or symptoms don’t go away after a weekIt would be best to get them checked so you can get treated before symptoms develop into something worse.

If you experience something immediately, such as going unconscious after hitting your head or a broken arm deformity, mandatory help is necessary. If some time has passed since your accident and you are still experiencing headaches, tender joints, or dizziness, consider seeing a physical therapist at Pick PT who can help understand what underlying issues could be present.

What We Offer

Our physical therapists here at Pick PT work with and treat all sorts of injuries. They are highly educated and experienced to understand the injuries that are currently going on and the necessary steps needed to get you back to being fully healed. We can:

  • Create a Personalized Program: When working with one of our therapists, they will create a customized plan for your specific needs following the accident. They will discuss with you what goals you have and curate the plan so that you can get back to that. These can include using ice to reduce swelling, breathing exercises for bruised ribs, strengthening exercises following a sprain, electrical stimulation for pain, mobility exercises, or massaging and manipulating muscles to relieve tension.
  • Be With You Through the Whole Process: When you start working with a therapist, the same one is with you the whole time. They are there to understand the full extent of your injuries, help devise a plan, constantly encourage you, and see how you are healing. They will be with you from the beginning to the end. This allows you to also build that personal relationship with them and know that they genuinely care and want to see your progress. 

Physical Therapy Coverage Costs

Car accidents can leave you with a bunch of bills that you don’t know if you’ll be able to pay out of pocket. Before attending physical therapy, you may be wondering what that could look like for you. Lucky for you, physical therapy is usually covered, at least somewhat by either your health insurance, the other party’s liability insurance, or a lawyer. 

Depending on your specific health insurance policy, they may be able to cover the expenses of your physical therapy. Speak with your provider to understand what that looks like for you. If you were in an accident where the other party was at fault, their insurance should cover the costs of your physical therapy. In the case that neither of these are in the cards for your situation, you can file a personal injury claim. Work with a lawyer to help you understand how you can be compensated for the needed physical therapy.
