When you are involved in an auto accident, you may feel the effects immediately. You may also experience the effects after days, weeks, or months. It’s essential to visit a physician who specializes in treating people who have experienced an auto accident. Dr. Darin Bush at Mobility Spine and Sports in Fort Lauderdale, FL, offers comprehensive accident and injury services to help you recover from an accident.

How an Auto Accident Physician Can Help You

When you experience an auto accident, your body is subjected to sudden, sharp, uncontrolled movements. These movements can:

• Stretch tendons
• Tear ligaments
• Break bones
• Strain muscles

An auto accident physician can help minimize the effects of an auto accident by providing treatment for:

• Whiplash, which can cause neck pain and difficulty turning your head
• Shoulder injuries, which can cause the inability to move your arms
• Back injuries, which can cause difficulty with movement of your entire body
• Arm injuries, which can cause difficulty working and completing daily tasks
• Leg injuries, which can cause difficulty walking

For mild symptoms associated with an auto accident, you can try a few simple home remedies, including:

• Rest for a few days to allow your body to heal
• Applying ice packs to the injured area for 15 minutes on days 1 and 2
• Applying heat for the next few days to reduce muscle tension
• Doing gentle stretches to improve flexibility and range of motion
• Taking over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling

After an auto accident, it’s important to visit your auto accident physician for a comprehensive evaluation. At Mobility Spine And Sports, your auto accident physician will complete a thorough physical examination to determine the extent of your injuries. Depending on the severity and location of the auto accident injuries, your doctor may recommend:

• Osteopathic manipulation, to help realign muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones
• Neuromuscular re-education, to promote proper body positioning and movement
• Electrical stimulation with a TENS unit to relax muscle tension
• Interventional injections reduce pain and swelling, promote healing, and help regain full range of motion
• Therapeutic massage to relax tense muscles and lengthen tight tendons and ligaments
