Why See A Physical Therapist After An Automobile Accident?
No matter how small your motor vehicle accident seemed, your body absorbed significant force to shift your spine and potentially restrict the activities of your central nervous system. The force of the collision moved through the vehicle and your body. Shock absorbing technology does not eliminate all the shock, it just lessens it or diverts it. Even a “fender bender” bent a fender! Any magnitude of impact is likely to have affected you — in ways you may not even notice yet.
Research and clinic experience now demonstrate that it is quite common to not experience all of your symptoms from collisions immediately. Surprised? Don’t be.
