Motor Vehicle Accidents in Sudbury
When you’re in a motor vehicle accident, your body can be thrown in any direction, causing injury to the back, neck and other areas. After the hospital checks for fractures and other serious injuries, your next stop should be our office. The sooner you start care, the faster the healing process can begin!
You never know how or when car accident injuries will appear in the muscles. It may be today or tomorrow, or have a delayed onset, so a proper assessment by Dr. Faught is necessary to determine the right course of action. Untreated injuries may lead to chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, and more.
Assessing Injuries Seen and Unseen
Whiplash is the most common injury seen in a motor vehicle crash, with damage sustained even at low speeds. Even if the outside of the vehicle is undamaged internally, the force of the collision is absorbed by whatever is inside—including the driver.
As a result of the sudden stop, the head is jerked forward and back, often slamming into the headrest. Damage to muscles, ligaments, nerves and vertebral discs can occur, resulting in headaches, dizziness, neck pain and more.
At our licensed motor vehicle accident clinic, we recognize that every injury from a car accident can be different. And it’s essential to be properly assessed to help you return to being your best.
We have the tools to assess your injuries and create a plan to address them in the most comprehensive manner to ensure you get the pain relief you desire and the healing and rehabilitative services you need.
That may include a combination of adjustments, soft tissue mobilizations, physiotherapy, and other modalities. If massage therapy is indicated, we’ll refer you out. Whatever is needed, we’re here with you every step of the way.
