Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Focused Physiotherapy Services

After a motor vehicle accident (MVA), you may experience a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms –  caused due to the trauma of the event. These symptoms can vary greatly depending on the severity of the accident, your health before the accident, and the nature of the injuries sustained. Here are some common symptoms that people may experience following an MVA:

  • Whiplash: This is one of the most common injuries from MVAs, especially in rear-end collisions. Symptoms include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades.
  • Back Pain: The impact can cause spinal injuries leading to lower back pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms.
  • Fractures: The force of the collision can break bones, leading to immediate pain, swelling, and reduced mobility in the affected area.
  • Head Injuries: Concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries can occur, leading to headaches, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, and cognitive difficulties.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons can cause pain, swelling, and bruising, often leading to reduced function and discomfort.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Individuals may experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the accident.
  • Anxiety: General anxiety, as well as specific phobias like driving anxiety or fear of vehicles, can develop after an accident.
  • Depression: Feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and withdrawal from social interactions can occur following the trauma of an MVA.
