Car Accident Pain & Whiplash Treatment
20-50 million people are injured or disabled due to car accidents each year. Car accidents can be extremely stressful, burdensome and financially costly. Most people who have been in a car crash don’t feel symptoms like pain or mobility problems until days or even weeks after the accident. For this reason, it’s extremely important to receive immediate medical treatment following a car accident. Common injuries after an accident include whiplash, headaches, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain.
At Therapydia, we offer same and next day appointments for anyone who has been in a car accident.
“Sabrina somehow manages to be very professional and warm and encouraging at the same. I came to her after a car accident and had been seeing several other care providers. it wasn’t until I came here that I truly started to feel like I was healing and able to be normal! Thank you!”
“I am so glad that I found Therapydia. After my car accident I tried chiropractic treatment which did help for awhile until it no longer helped but I was still in pain. That is when I found Jenny at Therapydia, I felt relief immediately after my very first appointment. I am almost done with my treatment but even so I know that if I ever need help again this will be the first place I go!”
Your Auto Insurance Covers Physical Therapy
Oregon is a Personal Injury Protection State meaning your car insurance covers your medical expenses — regardless of who caused the accident. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a default part of your car insurance and can cover up to two years from the date of the accident. You can use your benefits for a variety of healthcare services including physical therapy. We also accept Medpay.
WHIPLASH PAIN TREATMENT
Whiplash is the most reported injury after a car accident. With this type of neck pain, there are multiple variables involved that can contribute to the severity, recovery, and overall impact on your life.
Common symptoms after a car accident may include:
• Stiffness to neck, arms, upper back, and even the face
• Numbness into arms, neck and upper back
• Headache, dizziness, nausea
• Generalized weakness but more with head and neck
• Altered sleeping habits and patterns
• Difficulty with concentration
