Auto Accident Injuries
Auto collisions can cause whiplash, soft-tissue strains, and post-traumatic biomechanical imbalances. Under New York’s no-fault system, patients receive prompt coverage for physical therapy without delay.
Common Causes
- Whiplash from rapid head-and-neck motion
- Cervical and lumbar sprains/strains
- Muscle guarding and deconditioning after extended rest
- Altered posture and movement patterns perpetuating pain
How a Licensed Physical Therapist Can Help
- Comprehensive Assessment: Hands-on evaluation of joint mobility, muscle strength, and posture.
- Advanced Diagnostics:
- Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for real-time visualization of ligament tears, muscle strains, and tracking tissue healing
- NCV/EMG Testing by board-certified specialists to pinpoint nerve involvement, assess chronicity, and quantify severity
- Customized Rehab Plans: Manual therapy, corrective exercise, and neuromuscular training tailored to restore normal biomechanics.
- Physician Collaboration & Documentation: Detailed progress reports and direct communication with your physician streamline no-fault claim approvals and ensure care continuity.
Key Advantages
- Seamless Coverage: No-fault benefits cover evaluation, treatment, and diagnostics with detailed paperwork.
- Targeted, Evidence-Based Care: Ultrasound and EMG–guided interventions accelerate accurate diagnosis and effective treatment while providing strong documentation of injury.
- Reduced Complications: Early, conservative management prevents chronic pain and dependency on medications.
Empowered Recovery: Patient education and home-exercise programs foster self-management and prevent reinjury.
