Motor Vehicle Accident In Portland
What to expect from motor vehicle accident physical therapy in Portland
Assessment and Diagnosis Our physical therapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your injuries, including a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and imaging studies, such as x-rays or MRI scans. This allows us to accurately diagnose your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Pain Management Pain management is a critical component of Motor vehicle accident physical therapy. Our physical therapists use a variety of techniques to manage pain, including manual therapy, modalities such as heat and cold therapy, and therapeutic exercises. We work with our patients to identify their pain triggers and develop strategies to reduce pain and improve function. Range of Motion Exercises Motor vehicle accidents can often result in decreased range of motion due to muscle stiffness and joint restrictions. Our physical therapists will use various techniques such as passive and active range of motion exercises to restore your normal range of motion. Soft Tissue Mobilization In addition to joint restrictions, Motor vehicle accident injuries can also result in soft tissue damage such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, and contusions. Our physical therapists use various soft tissue mobilization techniques, such as massage therapy and myofascial release, to promote healing and improve flexibility. Strengthening Exercises After a motor vehicle accident, the affected muscles may become weak due to disuse or injury. Our physical therapists use strengthening exercises to rebuild the muscles’ strength, which helps restore function and reduce the risk of future injury. Balance and Coordination Training Motor vehicle accidents can also cause balance and coordination issues, which can lead to falls and other accidents. Our physical therapists use balance and coordination training to improve the patient’s ability to move safely and confidently. Functional Training Functional training involves exercises that simulate real-life movements, such as lifting, pushing, pulling, and reaching. Our physical therapists use functional training to help patients regain the ability to perform their daily activities and tasks, such as driving, cooking, and cleaning. Return to Work/Sport Returning to work or sports after a Motor vehicle accident injury can be challenging. Our physical therapists work closely with patients to develop a plan that gradually reintroduces them to their work or sports activities. We provide education and support to help patients maintain their progress and prevent future injuries.Recover from accidents faster with physical therapy in Portland

“I cannot recommend this physical therapy clinic enough. I first started seeing Candis and Sue in March 2020 for chronic pain. Between fascia work, electro current therapy, and exercises, their skills and care have changed my life. I’m the kind of person who wants to understand the nitty gritty of what’s going on with my pain/body, and know what purpose certain treatments and exercises have in aiding my healing. These ladies have helped me understand so much about my body, helping me gain agency with my pain management. They’re great listeners, communicators, and often know what my body needs before I do. I haven’t been a patient in nearly a year now and I miss them dearly, but I still use the skills they taught me every day.”
