We offer a suite of auto accident injury treatments based on your health profile. We may prescribe one of these physical therapy regimens for your ape Coral car accident recovery:
Strength and Resistance Training
This type of physical therapy aims to strengthen your muscles and ensure you rehabilitate any injured body parts. Muscle imbalances can cause re-injury or chronic injuries, so we aim to help you rebuild lost strength. This also plays a key role in mobility and the ability to return to previous activities, such as going back to work.
Stretching and Flexibility Exercises
We use stretches and resistance exercises to regain flexibility and range of motion. It is vital to mobilize joints, stretch muscles, and ensure your body functions as it should following an injury. Improved flexibility also greatly reduces the risk of injuries later.
Some types of specialized treatments we can use to rehabilitate specific injuries include:
Balance Training
Many who suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries struggle with balance. We can address several of the primary causes of balance concerns with therapy.
Balance therapy helps improve posture while seated and during activities. Its goal is to enhance
- Stability
- Coordination
- Pain management
- Strength
- Flexibility
Through the therapy, the body develops new neural pathways for balance and coordination. Exercises can begin simply as standing on one leg and later graduate to squats and lunges.
Gait Training
Many types of injuries, especially those affecting the brain, back, and legs, can affect your ability to walk, or gait. When your gait is not correct, it can cause chronic pain, problems with mobility, and other issues. Gait training uses exercises to help patients relearn to walk properly. Exercises could include:
- Walking heel to toe
- Side stepping
- Walking with resistance bands
- Walking backward
Exercises are chosen to strengthen the legs, hips, and core. In addition to strengthening muscles, stretching is necessary to develop flexibility. These exercises work well with the balance training exercises mentioned above to improve coordination and balance.
We prescribe complementary therapies to help you relieve tension, alleviate pain, and improve circulation to speed healing. Some examples of these therapies include:
Massage Therapy
Manual massage techniques can improve circulation, reduce stress, and alleviate pain. Techniques can reduce muscle tension and eliminate spasms. It could also aid in reducing inflammation and improving flexibility and mobility.
Massage therapies we could employ include:
- Deep tissue: This massage therapy focuses on the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues on the deeper layers in the body. It is often used to break down scar tissues to address chronic pain.
- Trigger point: This precise massage therapy targets specific muscles causing pain and helps improve muscle function.
- Myofascial release: This gentle massage therapy applies sustained pressure on the myofascial connective tissue. This therapy can reduce pain, increase mobility, and release tension in the fascia.
You can discuss our massage therapy options at any time during your recovery.
Electrical Stimulation (E-STIM) Therapy
Electrodes send low-energy pulses to stimulate the muscles and nerves in the affected area. It is an effective means of reducing pain by blocking the signals sent to the brain and causing the production of endorphins. This stimulation also improves circulation, which brings in fresh oxygen and removes waste materials.
By stimulating the muscles, it can also improve strength and reduce muscle spasms. Muscles remain active, improving range of motion and making muscles less likely to atrophy.
With improved circulation, E-STIM can also reduce edema, promoting lymphatic drainage and fluid movement. It can also be effective for neuromuscular re-education for any damage sustained following a car accident.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation, increase blood flow to the area, and speed up healing. The sound waves also break down scar tissue, increase mobility, relax muscles, and reduce spasms. When the muscles relax and tension is relieved, range of motion is improved. Plus, the technique causes deep heat therapy to tissues.
This technique has proven effective in treating such car accident injuries as:
- Whiplash injury
- Back pain
- Joint injuries
- Muscle spasms
- Soft tissue injuries
Our therapist will conduct a thorough examination before applying any sound wave treatment. Once agreed upon, the therapist will apply a gel to the affected region and move an ultrasound transducer over the area. The process could last anywhere from five to 10 minutes, depending on the injury.
