A "tough-guy" contractor came in last week after a double impact car crash. He was rear-ended by a bus and then shoved into the car in front of his. His work truck was totaled and had to be towed away. He was a mess. Surprisingly, a medical doctor at the Urgent Care suggested he come see us.
It's been a week now. He felt a bit better after the first week and by Friday I started hearing him say things like "I feel pretty good," "I'll be OK in a few days," and "This isn't gonna take long." I knew otherwise...
Monday came around and the first thing out of him was "I feel like I got ran over," "I didn't realize how bad this was," and "This is gonna take a while."
Injuries to muscles, ligaments and nerves are not like a broken bone where the doctor puts a cast on it, marks the calendar and in 6 weeks it's ready to go. Because we move all day, sit, stand, bend, lift and twist, healing time varies depending on many things; the severity of impact, prior health status and necessary activity levels.
Car crashes and whiplash take time and regular rehab to fully and appropriately heal. Let us evaluate your condition, make recommendations and start the process as soon as possible.
The sooner care begins with us, the sooner you get your life back.
