How long does it take to recover from a car accident?
Auto accident recovery time depends on the severity of your injuries and the accident. It can take days, weeks, months or even years to completely heal. You can improve your recovery time by doing the following:
– Seek medical attention immediately
– Follow your doctor’s advice, including all long-term treatments like physical therapy
– Get plenty of sleep and try to reduce stress
If you live an active lifestyle, not being able to exercise or play sports is not something you want to experience. However, you will need to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few weeks after your car accident.
Playing sports or performing demanding exercise routines shortly after a car accident can make your injuries much worse. Some people think that just because they aren’t in excruciating pain that they can push their limits after a car accident.
Doing this will usually lead to a person’s injuries getting much worse. While waiting to play sports or exercise may be difficult for you, it is the best thing for your body.
