Common Car Accident Injuries We Treat
Motor vehicle accidents can affect many different areas of the body. Even a relatively low-speed collision can produce symptoms that interfere with work, sleep, exercise and everyday activities.
Our team commonly assesses and treats:
Whiplash and Neck Pain
Rapid movement of the head and neck during a collision can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, reduced movement and discomfort through the shoulders and upper back.
Back Pain
Car accidents can aggravate muscles, joints and other structures throughout the mid and lower back, making sitting, standing, lifting and sleeping uncomfortable.
Headaches
Headaches after an accident may be associated with neck injury, muscle tension or concussion and should be properly assessed.
Shoulder and Upper-Back Injuries
Seat belts, impact forces and bracing during a collision can contribute to shoulder, rotator cuff and upper-back pain.
Concussion and Dizziness
Concussion symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, balance problems, visual symptoms, sensitivity to light or sound and difficulty concentrating.
Arm or Leg Injuries
Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations and other injuries to the upper and lower extremities also require rehabilitation following a collision.
Your treatment plan is based on your individual injuries, symptoms and functional limitations rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

A Team Approach to Car Accident Rehabilitation
Car accident injuries often involve more than one area of the body. Our multidisciplinary approach allows different rehabilitation services to work together when appropriate.
Treatment may include:
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy may include manual therapy, mobility work, progressive exercise, strengthening and education designed to restore function and help you return to normal activity.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatment may be used to address joint and musculoskeletal problems involving the neck, back and other areas affected by the collision.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Progressive exercise helps rebuild strength, mobility, tolerance and confidence as recovery progresses.
Concussion and Vestibular Rehabilitation
For appropriate patients, rehabilitation may address dizziness, balance, visual symptoms and other problems associated with concussion.
Acupuncture and Other Treatment Modalities
Depending on your clinical presentation, your treatment plan may incorporate acupuncture and other therapeutic techniques available at our clinic.
Your clinician will recommend treatment based on your specific condition and response to care.

What Can Treatment Help You Return To?
The goal of rehabilitation is not simply to reduce symptoms. Treatment should help restore your ability to function.
Depending on your injuries, that may include returning to:
- Driving comfortably
- Working
- Sleeping better
- Exercising
- Caring for your family
- Household activities
- Walking and recreational activity
- Normal neck and back movement
- Everyday lifting and carrying
Your progress is monitored throughout treatment, and your rehabilitation program can be modified as your abilities improve.
Still Having Symptoms Weeks or Months After Your Accident?
Not everyone recovers at the same pace.
Some people continue to experience neck pain, back pain, headaches, shoulder symptoms, dizziness or difficulty tolerating normal activities well after the initial accident.
If your symptoms have persisted, an assessment can help identify the areas still limiting your recovery and determine whether rehabilitation may be appropriate.
