Many drivers walk away from a low-speed "fender bender" thinking they’ve escaped unharmed. However, the physics of a car accident are complex. Even at low speeds, the force transferred to the neck and spine can be significant, often resulting in "hidden" injuries that don't show symptoms for days or even weeks.
At Milton Physiotherapy Plus, we are experts in identifying these subtle injuries. We don't just wait for pain to appear—we proactively assess your musculoskeletal health to prevent long-term complications.
Why "Wait and See" is a Risky Strategy
Adrenaline can mask pain immediately following an accident. Without an expert assessment, minor issues can evolve into:
-
Chronic Whiplash: Stiffness that eventually limits your range of motion at work.
-
Secondary Headaches: Tension-type headaches stemming from untreated neck strain.
-
Delayed Inflammatory Response: Soft tissue damage that feels like "just a sore back" but leads to nerve irritation.
Our MVA Assessment Process
When you visit our clinic, you aren't just getting a check-up; you are receiving an in-depth evaluation designed for MVA victims:
-
Neurological Screening: Ensuring no underlying nerve impingement from the impact.
-
Soft Tissue Integrity Testing: Specialized tests to check for micro-tears in ligaments and tendons.
-
Proactive Recovery Planning: We create a roadmap to keep you moving, ensuring you don't develop the stiffness that often follows an accident.
