A motor vehicle accident (MVA) is a sudden, violent event that can leave your body with more than just visible bruises. While whiplash is widely discussed, many people experience a different kind of aftermath: persistent hip pain, tightness, and unexplained low back discomfort.
If you’ve recently been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA), you’re far from alone in experiencing that familiar, nagging, and often debilitating low back discomfort. This type of injury, often called a whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) to the lumbar spine, is incredibly common and can be frustratingly persistent.
If you’ve been injured, are dealing with chronic pain, or are just trying to get back to your active lifestyle, you’ve probably heard the terms “physiotherapy” and “active rehab” or “kinesiology.” It’s common to wonder: Aren’t they the same thing?
