Do You Need Physical Therapy After a Car Accident?

An attorney can help you get the treatment you need to recover

If you have been involved in a car accident and have sustained injuries that require physical therapy, there are several steps you can take to get the treatment you need.

  1. Seek medical attention: After a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you do not think you have been seriously injured. A medical professional can assess your injuries and determine if physical therapy is necessary.
  2. Get a referral from your doctor: In order to receive physical therapy after a car accident, you will need to get a referral from your doctor. Your doctor can provide you with a referral to a physical therapist who is experienced in treating car accident injuries.
  3. Contact your insurance company: Once you have a referral from your doctor, you should contact your insurance company to determine if your policy covers the cost of physical therapy. Most insurance policies will cover the cost of physical therapy as long as it is deemed medically necessary.
  4. Find a physical therapist: After you have received a referral from your doctor and confirmed coverage with your insurance company, you can begin the process of finding a physical therapist. You can search for physical therapists in your area who are experienced in treating car accident injuries, and you can schedule an appointment to begin your treatment.

Websites such as the American Physical Therapy Association's "Find a PT" directory. This directory allows you to search for therapists by location, specialty, and other criteria.

In addition to using online directories, you can also ask friends, family, or other healthcare providers for recommendations. Your attorney may also recommend a physical therapist. You can also contact your insurance company to find out if they have a list of in-network physical therapists who are covered by your plan. Once you have a few options, you can research the therapists' credentials, experience, and areas of specialization to find the right one for your needs.
