Comprehensive Car Accident Injury Rehabilitation at Elite Care Physical Therapy

At Elite Care Physical Therapy in Berkeley Heights, NJ, we understand the challenges individuals face after being involved in car accidents. Our specialized rehabilitation programs cater to those recovering from a range of injuries sustained in car accidents. Whether you're dealing with whiplash, soft tissue damage, or more severe trauma, our expert team is here to guide you through your recovery journey with personalized care and attention.

Common Car Accident Injuries:

1. Whiplash: A sudden jerking motion of the head and neck upon impact can lead to whiplash, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the neck and shoulders.

2. Back Injuries: Herniated discs, spinal fractures, and strains can occur due to the force exerted on the spine during a collision, resulting in debilitating pain and limited movement.

3. Soft Tissue Damage: Bruising, sprains, and strains to muscles, ligaments, and tendons are prevalent in car accidents, often causing swelling, pain, and restricted range of motion.

4. Fractures: Broken bones are a common consequence of high-impact collisions, requiring careful rehabilitation to restore strength and function.

5. Concussions: Head injuries can result in concussions, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive impairment, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Treatment for Auto Accident Injuries

Our treatment approaches encompass a holistic and comprehensive approach to car accident injury rehabilitation. Manual therapy techniques, including massage, stretching, and joint mobilization, are employed to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation. Customized therapeutic exercise programs target specific areas of weakness or dysfunction, promoting strength, stability, and range of motion.

In addition to hands-on therapy and exercise, patient education plays a crucial role in our rehabilitation programs. Patients are provided with valuable insights into proper posture, body mechanics, and ergonomics to prevent future injuries and promote long-term wellness. Our therapists employ a progressive rehabilitation approach, gradually increasing intensity and complexity to optimize recovery while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
