Motor Vehicle Accidents

The results of a car accident can be very traumatic and injuries may not be apparent until the days or weeks following. Injuries can vary from sprains and strains to fractures and whiplash associated disorders. Physiotherapy assessment and treatment is specific to individual cases and goals. Treatments can involve a combination of therapies including: manual (hands on) therapy, local modalities, acupuncture and exercise prescription. The main goals of treatment usually involve pain reduction, promotion of range of motion and strength as well return to work and daily activities.

Navigating the motor vehicle insurance claim system can be quite daunting for most individuals. The process can involve numerous phone calls to insurance providers and the completion of lengthy paperwork. Guidance through this process can be very helpful to eliminate wasted time and effort on the part of the injured person.
