It’s generally recommended to start physical therapy as soon as your doctor clears you for treatment. Early intervention can prevent complications, reduce pain more quickly, and speed up the recovery process. However, in cases of severe injuries, you may need to wait until initial healing has occurred. Always follow your physician’s advice regarding the timing of starting physical therapy.

In many cases, auto insurance policies do cover physical therapy for injuries sustained in an accident. The coverage depends on your specific policy and the laws in your state. It’s important to check with your insurance provider and discuss your coverage options. Our administrative team can also assist you in understanding your benefits and navigating the insurance process.

The duration of physical therapy varies greatly depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. Some patients may only need a few weeks of therapy, while others with more complex injuries might require several months.

While physical therapy primarily focuses on physical rehabilitation, it can indirectly help with emotional recovery. Regaining physical function and reducing pain can significantly improve your mood and outlook. Additionally, our therapists are trained to provide supportive care and can offer coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety related to your accident and injuries.
