DuPont Physical Therapy can help!
What types of accidents result in what kinds of injuries?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports over 6 million police-reported crashes in the U.S. annually. Our physical therapists are adept at treating various injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents. Some of the most prevalent types include:
Rear-end collisions
These collisions frequently lead to whiplash, impacting the neck muscles and inducing pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion.
Head-on collisions
Side-impact collisions

Bulging and/or Herniated Discs
Motor vehicle accidents can result in herniated discs in the spine, leading to symptoms such as back and neck pain, numbness, and weakness. These issues can significantly affect your daily activities and overall quality of life.
Whiplash
Whiplash injuries affect the muscles and ligaments in the neck, resulting in pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion. These symptoms can make everyday tasks, such as driving, working on a computer, and sleeping, difficult to perform.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Accidents can result in strains and sprains in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the spine and joints across the body. These injuries often manifest as back and neck pain, accompanied by stiffness and reduced mobility.
Fractures and Dislocations
Injuries such as fractures and dislocations can impact any bone or joint in the body, often resulting in restricted mobility and difficulty carrying out daily activities.
How can DuPont Physical Therapy support my recovery from a motor vehicle accident injury?
At DuPont Physical Therapy, we prioritize holistic healing, addressing not just the physical injuries from motor vehicle accidents, but also your emotional and mental well-being. Our approach revolves around personalized care, ensuring a recovery journey that promotes long-term wellness.
We commence the evaluation process by delving into your medical history, assessing prior injuries and conditions. Following this, our therapists conduct a hands-on assessment, identifying any structural abnormalities, muscle imbalances, or tender spots through palpation. Range of motion and strength tests are then administered to gauge flexibility, muscle power, and joint stability. Lastly, movement and mobility tests help us evaluate functional abilities and pinpoint limitations.
With a comprehensive understanding of your physical condition, our therapists craft an individualized treatment plan integrating various holistic techniques, including:
Manual therapy
Our therapists employ hands-on techniques like joint mobilization and soft tissue massage to alleviate pain, enhance joint mobility, and restore optimal muscle function.
Postural education
Therapeutic exercises
