MVA Injury Rehabilitation

Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming, especially with the physical pain and limitations it can bring to your everyday life. Tri Physical Therapy offers MVA injury rehabilitation to support you and help you reach your recovery goals. For a thorough assessment and most comprehensive care let us address all problems including ligamental problems that often are missed.

We see hundreds of people every single year come to our clinic with the same complaint of chronic neck, mid, or lower back problems. They often have the same history of being involved in a very minor accident which resulted in what they thought was a minor injury written off as a soft tissue problem. They go for a series of tests including MRIs trying to identify whether the disc was injured, herniated, or torn. The very minor changes are what many people and clinics ignore. As time passes, people end up struggling to stand or sit for a long time or lift things because it requires bending forward and back. This means during the accident, an injury to the ligaments occurred and resulted in ligamentous instability which often follows a Fender Bender.

Ligaments are structures that hold the whole spine together. The spine is a stack of bones that is separated by small gel-like structures called discs. The spine altogether is a series of ligaments and those ligaments are the first line of defense for the spine during an injury. The second line of defense is the muscles. A lot of people don’t have a strong musculature so that line of defense is also really nothing to rely on. During a MVA there is a very high risk of serious spinal injury because the spinal cord that connects the brain to the rest of the body is not protected by anything. At TriPT can check your spine with a stress test for the ligaments that can be done by a specific form of X-rays where we can see and understand the basic injuries. These very injuries often end up with very serious chronic conditions and we address them adequately.

If you were involved in an injury please make sure your doctor not only tests you for basic things like a meniscal tear. When it comes to the ligaments, we have regenerative treatments that can be PRP or cell therapy – a whole line of things that we can do today to stabilize the ligaments and cure the problem long term. We have patients that can even get regenerative care such as PRP injections and many other types of regenerative care covered by the no-fold insurance.

You have up to $50,000 dollars of medical services covered by no-fault insurance. If you don’t have any serious injuries it is still recommended you receive treatment. The most common injuries are ligament injuries which cannot be depicted on the MRI and require to be separately studied for cases of instability. Ensure you are giving proper treatment to restabilize your spine to continue living a life free of pain. Call TriPT today at 718-908-2000.
