Were you injured in a motor vehicle accident?
Whether
you were the driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian, auto insurance is
mandated to provide "reasonable" and "necessary"
treatment to get you back to your pre-accident condition.
Dr. Nyman provides comprehensive
rehabilitation programs for people injured in a car accident. It
all starts with a thorough examination
to determine the nature and extent of your injuries. This may or
may not include x-rays.
Once your injuries have been fully assessed, we can start treatment
immediately. No referral is
necessary and there is no waiting list. In addition, the first 6-8 weeks of
treatment after a car accident is automatically covered by your
insurance through a pre-approved treatment arrangement, which will not
impact your insurance rates.
"Uh Oh!
Better get Macco and call Dr. Nyman!"
Dr. Nyman will help guide you through any paperwork
you encounter and help answer
all your questions. If you have an adjuster, case manager, insurance
representative, or legal representative, please have their name and phone number available
at the time of your appointment.
Also, if you have a claim number or other documentation from your
insurance company, please bring it to your appointment.

Dr. Nyman provides treatment
for Whiplash-Associated Disorders and other injuries resulting from an Automobile Accident in
Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario |

People
injured in car accidents sometimes experience a strain of the neck
muscles and surrounding soft tissue, commonly known as whiplash. This
injury often occurs when a vehicle is hit from the rear or the side,
causing a sharp and sudden movement of the head and neck. Whiplash may
result in tender muscles (Grade I) or limited neck movement (Grade II).
If you have suffered a whiplash injury, knowing more about the condition
can help you participate in your own recovery. You will find
more information below.
Whiplash Associated
Disorder - An acceleration - deceleration mechanism of injury.

Some General Information About Whiplash
and Its Treatment |
|
-
Most
whiplash injuries will heal fully with appropriate treatment.
-
Signs of
serious neck injury, such as fracture, are usually evident in early
assessments.
-
The most
common types of Whiplash (Grades I and II) primarily only involve injury
to the soft tissues.
-
Pain,
stiffness and other symptoms of Grades I or II whiplash typically start
within the first 2 days after the accident. A later onset of symptoms
usually does not indicate a more serious injury.
-
Many
people experience no disruption to their normal activities after a
whiplash injury. Those who do usually improve after a short period and
return safely to their daily activities.
|
|
The best way to make sure you recover fully from your automobile
accident injuries is to have your injuries fully assessed and treated.
Just as the
soreness and stiffness of a sprained ankle may linger, a neck strain can
also feel achy, stiff or tender for days or weeks. While some
patients get better quickly, symptoms can persist over a longer period
of time. For most cases of Grades I and II Whiplash, these
symptoms gradually decrease with treatment and a return to normal daily
activities.
