Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries that can impact an individual’s quality of life. The force of impact during a motorcycle accident can cause fractures, soft tissue injuries, and even traumatic brain injuries. Physical therapy is an effective treatment option for individuals who have been injured in a motorcycle accident, helping them recover from their injuries and return to their daily activities. At AMP PT, we offer a range of physical therapy services to help individuals recover from motorcycle accident injuries.
One of the most common injuries sustained during a motorcycle accident is a fracture. This occurs when a bone is broken, often in the arms, legs, or ribs. Symptoms of a fracture can include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for fractures, helping to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and strengthen the muscles in the affected area. Our team of licensed physical therapists at AMP PT works closely with our patients to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Soft tissue injuries are also common during motorcycle accidents, including sprains, strains, and contusions. Symptoms of soft tissue injuries can include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for soft tissue injuries, helping to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and promote healing. Our team at AMP PT uses a range of modalities and techniques to help individuals recover from soft tissue injuries, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and modalities like electrical stimulation or ultrasound.
In addition to fractures and soft tissue injuries, motorcycle accidents can also result in traumatic brain injuries. This occurs when an individual’s brain is jolted or shaken within their skull, resulting in damage to brain cells. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can include headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and memory loss. Physical therapy can be a highly effective treatment option for individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, as it can help address the symptoms associated with the injury, such as balance and coordination issues. Our team of licensed physical therapists at AMP PT has extensive experience working with individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries and can develop a customized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s unique needs and goals.
