Common Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Whether minor or severe, motor vehicle accidents can leave quite an unfortunate mark. Some common injuries that result from motor vehicle accidents include:

  • Concussions
  • Disability
  • Fractures
  • Muscle and tendon tears
  • Nerve damage
  • Whiplash

We recommend that you get assessed by a healthcare professional as soon as possible after a collision. Motor vehicle accidents often create long-lasting injuries which may require immediate rehabilitation. Too often, we see accidents weaken tissues and create opportunities for future injuries. Prevention is key when trying to avoid chronic pain and/or disability. Our therapists can identify the injuries from a motor vehicle accident and teach you the tools for a quick and healthy recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Car Accident Physiotherapy Ottawa FAQs

Why Is Physiotherapy Important After a Car Accident?
Physiotherapy is crucial to address car accident injuries like whiplash, fractures, back injuries, and muscle tears, which may not fully heal on their own. Without proper rehabilitation, these injuries can lead to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and long-term complications. Physiotherapists help restore function and strength, promote healing, and prevent future injury through tailored exercise programs, manual therapy, and education, ensuring a quicker and safer recovery.
It’s recommended to begin physiotherapy as soon as possible after a car accident. Early intervention helps reduce inflammation, pain, and stiffness, while also preventing further complications. Even if you don’t feel immediate pain, underlying issues may arise later. Physiotherapists assess your condition and create a personalized rehabilitation plan, ensuring a faster recovery and reducing the likelihood of long-term damage.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of your injuries and how soon treatment begins. For mild injuries, such as minor whiplash, recovery might take a few weeks, while more severe cases involving fractures or significant muscle damage may require several months of therapy. Our physiotherapists regularly assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal recovery without rushing or delaying the process.
In your initial physiotherapy session, the therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your injuries, medical history, and pain levels. They’ll also evaluate your range of motion, strength, and posture to identify the areas most affected by the accident. From this, they’ll create a personalized treatment plan, including exercises designed for pain relief and improved mobility. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported throughout your recovery.
