The PT Perspective

Did you know 6 million auto accidents happen per year, according to the Annual United States Car Crash Statistics? That’s about 16,438 accidents every day. Unexpected accidents can wreak havoc on your body, including whiplash, concussions and herniated discs.

Whiplash can occur from a sports injury, but is most commonly used to describe the resulting injury to the neck from a rear end type motor vehicle accident.

Urgent care centers have been popping up all over the country and for good reason.  It’s easy to make an appointment or walk in, the wait times are significantly less than an emergency room visit, and they provide access to healthcare when your primary care physician is unavailable. 

Did you know that if you’ve been injured in an auto related accident that you likely have access to a personal injury protection (PIP) benefit? This benefit is covered through your auto insurance and can unlock a range of services needed to help you heal and recover from your injuries.
