Auto Accident Injuries
Physical Therapy for Auto Accident Victims
After an auto accident, pain or discomfort can last for days or longer. San Tan Physical Therapy can evaluate your injury and help you begin care as soon as possible.
Don’t Wait to Get Checked
Injuries sustained after a car accident, if left untreated, can lead to spinal degeneration and other problems for years to come. If you are seriously hurt, go to the ER or local hospital. If you are still experiencing pain or discomfort for a few days or more, come to our office to determine whether you need further care.
You owe it to yourself to come in and get checked. We offer immediate appointments and can often see patients for a first visit within 24–48 hours.
What to Do After an Auto Accident
Focus on your health while our team helps make the process easier.
1. Seek Care Promptly
Seek treatment as soon as possible. If you are seriously hurt, visit the ER or a local hospital and ask for a physical therapy prescription in case you need it.
2. Get a Thorough Evaluation
Our team provides a thorough, one-on-one evaluation and personalized care plan. Don’t have a doctor? San Tan Physical Therapy has a team of doctors who can see you and refer you to physical therapy.
3. Start Your Recovery Plan
Physical therapy is natural, conservative care designed to help improve strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return to daily activities.
Help Navigating Auto Insurance
Most auto insurance companies have Med Pay or PIP (Personal Injury Protection), which may cover care up to a certain limit with no out-of-pocket expense. If the accident was not your fault, the other party’s auto insurance should cover your health care expenses in our office.
Our office can check into your coverage and complete the paperwork for you. Dealing with insurance companies can be difficult after an auto accident; a reputable attorney may help by handling the bargaining process, paperwork, and phone calls so you can concentrate on healing.
Before settling with an insurance company, have your injury evaluated. If you settle before your injury is fully resolved, you may be responsible for paying out of pocket for later care.
