A step-by-step guide to reclaiming your health after a car accident
Being in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) is a frightening experience—and the physical effects can last long after the crash. Whether it was a minor collision or a major accident, your body absorbs an intense amount of force. Even injuries that seem small at first, like whiplash or muscle strain, can worsen if not properly treated.
At Remotion Clinic, we specialize in helping MVA patients heal faster, feel stronger, and return to daily life with confidence. Here’s what to expect during your recovery—and how to speed up the process safely.
Common Injuries After a Car Accident
Even low-speed accidents can cause damage. Some of the most frequent injuries we see include:
-
Whiplash (neck pain, stiffness, headaches)
-
Soft tissue injuries (muscles, tendons, ligaments)
-
Lower back pain
-
Shoulder or joint dysfunction
-
Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries
-
Nerve symptoms (tingling, numbness, radiating pain)
Symptoms may not appear immediately—it can take hours or even days for pain, stiffness, or dizziness to set in. That’s why early assessment is crucial.
