Auto-Vehicle Accidents

Physical Therapy for Auto Accident Victims

Unfortunately, studies show that most of us will be in an auto accident at some point in our lives. The only question remaining is how bad will it be?

Important things to remember:

  • Seek treatment as soon as possible.
  • If you are seriously hurt, go to the ER or local hospital. Be sure to ask for a physical therapy prescription, just in case you may need it.
  • Don’t have a doctor? We have a team of doctors who can see you and refer you to physical therapy at no out of pocket expense to you. Call us.
  • If you still experiencing pain or discomfort a few days or more, come to our office to determine if you need further care.
  • Remember, come in ASAP in order to get better, faster.
  • Most Auto Insurance companies have what is called Med Pay or PIP. This means you are covered 100%, with no out of pocket expense up to a certain limit. Our office can check into that for you.
  • If the accident was not your fault. The other party’s auto insurance should cover your health care expenses in our office. We will do all of the paperwork for you.
  • At the accident scene, gather as much information on the other driver or drivers as possible. An accident report by Police is always helpful, but not required to have a case.
  • You should never settle with an insurance company before you have had us evaluate your injury for you. If you settle before your injury is fully resolved, you will be completely on your own and will have to pay out of pocket for your care.
  • Dealing with insurance companies can be difficult after an auto accident. Hiring a reputable Attorney essentially takes you out of the direct bargaining process with the insurance company and all the paperwork & phone calls associated with that process, and allows you to concentrate on healing.
  • Injuries sustained after a car accident if left untreated can lead to spinal degeneration and a host of other problems for years to come.

    • FINAL NOTE: We find that many people involved in an auto accident that WAS THEIR FAULT never get treatment.

    This tends to be due to the fear that their insurance will go up after a claim is filed. Your PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is why you have auto insurance in the first place.

    Many insurance companies will not raise your rates after 1 or even 2 accidents in the same year.

    THE INJURIES SUSTAINED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT CAN CAUSE A HOST OF PROBLEMS FOR YEARS TO COME, OR EVEN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

    YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO COME IN AND GET CHECKED.

Our Patients Are Thriving

  • After ACDF surgery, I had limited range of motion in my neck – both up/ down and side to side. I also had significant pain in my neck and shoulders/arms, especially my right arm. After therapy, my range of motion has increased exponentially and pain has diminished to almost nothing except on rare occasions when I over do it. All muscle spasms in my back, which were frequent after surgery, are gone. I am extremely happy with the therapeutic treatment at the hands of Dalton Derthick, I highly recommend him to anyone seeking Physical Therapy.

  • Several years ago, I had rotary cuff injury and Saeed was very helpful in moving my arms and head/neck. Saeed and his staff are very helpful, friendly, and always making sure you are comfortable in the exercise to keep the body moving. I can move my head/neck area so much better with out pain. My arms are so much stronger. Thank you, Saeed and Alyssa!

  • I was in a car accident – rear ended and I guess some whiplash. My Doctor recommended Physical Therapy to help with neck pain and headaches. The exercises I have learned here and the massages and manipulation by the therapist have helped immensely with the pain and headaches for right now. I intend to keep up with the stretches to stay that way. This has been a very great experience. The Therapists have been wonderful.
