Acute injury management aims to help manage the initial injury phase and treat or refer the client to appropriate medical services.
Acute injury management refers to an injury which has happened in the last 7 days, at times these injuries may benefit from an initial appointment where the physio can lodge an ACC claim, refer on for any further imaging if necessary or further reviews by medical specialists. The physio may decide to review in a number of days following to start treatment for rehab once pain is under control or provide hands on treatment to help with pain management.
Seeking medical help quickly may help with avoiding prolonged pain, discomfort or improve recovery time.
Beyond will complete an initial assessment and we work closely with local fracture clinics and Dr emergency clinics where we will refer you to if necessary. Complex cases are reviewed by clinicians and if required will have case reviews to assess client treatment planning.
