Work & Auto Accidents
What is considered a work injury?
When you’ve been involved in a car accident or got injured on the job, HealthQuest Physical Therapy can help ease the recovery process. In most cases, your auto insurance personal injury policy or workman’s compensation company can cover up to 100% of your therapy without a deductible or any additional expenses from you. Talk to one of our front office team members and they would be glad to help you get the information you need to get started with physical therapy.
What is a work injury?
Since people spend a significant portion of their lives at work, the workplace is one of the most common places to suffer an injury. Any injury, ailment, or illness that is sustained while an employee is on the job can be defined as a work injury. Some occupations are at a higher risk of sustaining a work injury than others, especially if the environment is dangerous. For example, fields of police work, nursing, and construction often come with an increased risk of work-related injuries. However, even jobs that may not seem dangerous on the surface can still lead to pain or injury. Those who have occupations in offices or factories are also commonly prone to repetitive motion injuries due to the nature of their job duties.
Office jobs can lead to injuries in certain circumstances. While you may not think you’re at risk, sitting in the same position for prolonged periods of time can take a toll on your body. Back and neck pain are common in this setting, as well as headaches. These types of injuries may not be billed with workman’s compensation, we can help you.
Get back on your feet after an auto accident.
From neck pain to broken bones, car accidents can cause all kinds of injuries. Often patients often don’t realize how bad their car accident-related injuries are until after they’ve returned to their normal daily activities. Common injuries typically include pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and chronic headaches or migraines. As such, it’s important patients undergo physical therapy to aid the recovery process. Physical therapy can help car accident victims increase their strength, improve their flexibility, and subsequently keep pain symptoms at bay. Our specially-designed therapy regimens can help patients bounce back from their injuries faster and easier.
Why Seek Physical Therapy After an Accident?
An accident can be a life-changing event. Between the shock emotionally and the physical pressure exerted on your body, you can come out suffering on multiple levels. When you’re feeling stiff, numbness, pain, or tingling that wasn’t there before your accident, it’s time to seek help. These injuries can stay with you for the rest of your life. The sooner you come in, the easier your pain will be to manage and the faster you can get back to work or driving again.
