Car accident, call Nick Rinard Physical Therapy TODAY!

Waiting to start PT after an accident can actually INCREASE your healing time Some people are told to “rest” for 4-6 weeks before starting therapy after an accident. The problem with this? There are many things a person can do immediately after a car accident to facilitate healing and prevent dysfunction. |
All too often, we see people 6 months or more after a car accident or motor vehicle accident (MVA).
Without exercises at home, the picture is this: limited, painful movement of the spine or joints, global weakness, and poor posture that becomes painful when corrected.
The same is true for other types of trauma as well! Prolonged rest causes stiffness, and can lead to increased pain.
Nick Rinard Physical Therapy has a very effective treatment protocol that helps patients avoid loss in range in motion, and decrease pain!
