Auto Accident Injury Physical Therapy in New York City
What injuries can auto accidents cause?
Even low speed accidents can create lasting problems if left untreated. Common injuries include:
- Whiplash and neck pain
- Back pain, disc injuries, and spinal misalignment
- Shoulder and joint sprains or strains
- Soft tissue injuries, bruising, or inflammation
- Concussions and other neurological symptoms
- Knee, hip, or ankle injuries from impact
Physical therapy can help address pain, restore strength, and prevent long term complications after an accident.
Who pays for physical therapy after a car accident?
Most auto insurance policies include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which pays for physical therapy when deemed medically necessary. Our billing department works directly with your insurance company, adjuster, physician, and attorney (if applicable) so you can focus on recovery while we handle the paperwork.
When should I start physical therapy?
Time is critical after an auto accident. Patients should see a physician as soon as possible to evaluate injuries. If physical therapy is recommended, Dynamic Physical Therapy NYC can schedule an evaluation within 24–48 hours. Early intervention helps control pain, restore mobility, and reduce the risk of chronic problems.
