Car Accident Treatment
Are you struggling with an injury after a car accident in Manitoba? According to Manitoba Public Insurance, there are typically tens of thousands of motor vehicle accidents each year in Manitoba. Of these car accidents, many thousands usually result in injuries to those involved.
Anyone who sustains an injury in a motor vehicle accident and is covered by Manitoba Public Insurance is allowed to open an injury claim. When you open an injury claim, you will be issued an injury claim number, which is all you need to start your physical therapy treatment.
Your physiotherapist at Beverly Physiotherapy will take the time to do a thorough assessment of your injuries and create an individualized treatment plan to help with your recovery.

Most injuries that occur after car accidents are soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries can include strains or sprains to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, or connective tissue. One common type of soft tissue injury which can occur after a car accident is whiplash. Whiplash usually involves injury to the neck as a result of the impact of a vehicle collision. Headaches or migraines can also be triggered by whiplash.
Other common types of injuries after car accidents are strains of the back and occasionally the upper and lower extremities. These can include sprains and strains to the shoulders, chest, knees, or ankles to name a few. These types of injuries and many others can be effectively treated with physical therapy at our Winnipeg physiotherapy clinic.

Our main goal is to get you back to the activities that you care about!
