For anyone who has ever been involved in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) you know how long and painful the recovery can be: physically, emotionally, and psychologically.  The practitioners at Oakville Massage and Wellness Centre can help!

 

There are no insignificant MVA’s:  Consider that the average vehicle weighs 2000lbs – no matter how fast or how slow the vehicle is moving at the point of impact there will be damage caused to the soft tissue in your body (muscle, tendon, ligament), as those tissues were not designed to withstand that type of jarring force.  At minimum, the result is torn and bruised tissue that needs attention right away in order for the healing process to begin.  Although you may not feel like you need therapy after a “minor” accident, keep in mind that symptoms can lay dormant for years as the body tries to adapt and compensate for the changes that occurred during the MVA.  A proper assessment and treatment can prevent long term issues to manifest.  At OMWC we focus on Massage, Acupuncture, Chiropractic and Counselling to guarantee a full recovery.

 

The cost of treatment is covered by the majority of Auto Insurance Plans so the only thing you need to worry about is getting better.  Some basic information is required from you, but from there we take care of all the paper work and focus on eliminating your painful symptoms.

 

Whiplash – The most common injury with MVA occurs when the neck is snapped forward and or backward causing the tissues to literally tear, resulting in inflammation, spasm, and pain.  Significant whiplash injury can occur with as little as a 5KM impact, as well as seemingly benign situations such as being pushed from behind, slipping, stepping of a curb that is unexpected…

 

Symptoms can include: Headaches, Neck pain, pain in the shoulders and between the shoulder blades, pain in one or both arms, Fatigue, Dizziness, Vision problems, Ringing in the ears (tinnitus), Poor concentration or memory, Low back pain, Sleep disturbance.
