Car Accident Physiotherapy

Car accidents can have a lasting impact on your body — even minor collisions can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Spectrum Physiotherapy, we specialize in helping individuals recover safely and effectively after motor vehicle accidents through customized car accident therapy and evidence-based rehabilitation programs.

What is Car Accident Physiotherapy?

Car accident physiotherapy focuses on treating injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. These injuries may include whiplash, muscle strains, joint pain, and soft tissue damage. Our primary goal is to restore your body’s natural movement, reduce pain, and prevent chronic issues that can develop if left untreated.

Common injuries that may benefit from physiotherapy include

Common Causes of Post-Accident Pain

The sudden impact from a car accident can cause your body to move abruptly, leading to strain or injury. Pain may not appear immediately – it often develops hours or even days later. Common causes include:
Rapid deceleration or jerking movements affecting the neck and spine
Inflammation and muscle spasms following trauma
Microtears in muscles and ligaments
Stress-related tension and poor posture after injury

Symptoms You May Experience

After a collision, symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the accident. Common signs that you may need car accident therapy include:
  • Persistent neck or back pain

  • Headaches or dizziness

  • Shoulder stiffness or pain when lifting your arm

  • Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs

  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating due to discomfort
