Understanding Personal Injury After an Accident

If you have recently been injured in an accident, you know how frightening it can be. Accidents can result in injuries ranging from mild cuts and abrasions to broken bones and severe whiplash. This, undoubtedly, results in pain and discomfort following the accident.

Fortunately, physical therapy can help. In many cases, physical therapy will be covered via personal injury claims. A personal injury lawyer will walk you through how many sessions and what types of treatments will be covered after submitting your claim. At Holistic Physical Therapy, we work with many personal injury attorneys to help patients receive the best care at the lowest cost after sustaining a personal injury. For more information on how we can work with your personal injury claim to help you recover as quickly and cost-efficiently as possible, contact us today.

Physical therapy after an accident

Physical therapy is a natural, safe, and effective pain management solution. Physical therapy can help in your recovery from an automobile accident by reducing pain and inflammation, in addition to restoring your range of motion.

Working with a physical therapist is the best way to recover as quickly as possible from the pain you are feeling. Physical therapy can address pain by improving your range of motion, strengthening the muscles in the affected areas, and using targeted massage to reduce tension. 

In many situations, working with a physical therapist to improve core and other muscle strength can significantly reduce the severity of your pain, so you can recover from your injury and get back to living your life without discomfort. Additionally, physical therapy goes beyond pain relief and works to improve the overall function of your body by getting to the root of the problem.

What will a treatment plan look like and how will a letter of protection help?

Treatment plans will incorporate a series of treatments based on the nature of your condition, aimed at providing relief and recovery. This may include any combination of targeted exercises and stretches, manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation. 

Your treatment plan will also address strength, flexibility, and overall mobility, in order to get you back to your normal physical abilities.

Your personal injury lawyer should discuss a letter of protection (LOP) with you, which is a contractual obligation between you, your lawyer, and your medical care team (us). A letter of protection is a binding document stating that you will receive the care you need and that it will be covered, either in full or in an agreed upon amount. This letter is meant to help and protect you, so all you have to worry about is your recovery.
