Not only are we experts in obtaining you the maximum amount of compensation, but we understand the importance of getting you feeling fit and healthy again as quickly as possible. We appreciate that everyone has busy lives and we can’t afford to be unwell – that’s why we take your whiplash recovery very seriously.
Often after your road accident you will start to feel the effects of your injuries maybe 6 – 12 hours after your accident; however, this can vary. Some symptoms may include neck, back and shoulder pain, stiffness and aches, headaches, dizziness, a shooting pins and needles sensation down your arms, jaw pains, or even fatigue. Upon feeling these symptoms of whiplash, you should visit your GP who should help you out with some medical advice. They will often advise you to take pain killers and recommend that you may benefit from a course of specialist treatment, such as physiotherapy.
What is whiplash physiotherapy treatment, and how can it help? Physiotherapy uses physical methods such as massage and manipulation to encourage healing and wellbeing. The treatment is used to help restore your range of movement by the physiotherapist using their hands to relieve muscle pain and stiffness. This will encourage the blood flow to an injured part of the body which can help recovery as well. Sometimes physiotherapists may advise you to undertake certain exercises to help get your muscles moving again, or perhaps some dry needling (like acupuncture) to help relieve the pressure in the affected areas.
Your GP may refer you to a physiotherapist which may mean that you have to wait on an NHS waiting list for some time before getting your much needed treatment. Here at The Injury Lawyers we don’t want you to be waiting to get the specialist treatment that you deserve that’s why we offer no cost private medical treatment at the very beginning of your claim. Our specialist medical team will arrange private treatment at a time and place that is convenient for you. That way you can focus on getting yourself feeling better while we work hard to get you the maximum compensation that you deserve.
So, if you have been involved in a accident that was not your fault, and you want not only want a law firm who can get you the maximum compensation that you deserve, but a law firm who really understands your needs and has your best interests at heart, give The Injury Lawyers a call today!
