hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of your sister.

As mentioned by you in the history about numbess in the neck, and the mechanism of injury. I can understand that there is a thrust injury to the soft tissue of the cervical spine. As by undergoing physical therapy the muscles of the neck will be have optimum strength to hold the spine in position. Also, if the MRI or CT is taken post accident , same report can be reexamined to see if any cervical spine injury is visual in the scan report.

As you can discuss the same with the surgeon regarding the same about the cervical spine injury and physical therapy.

I wish your sister a speedy recovery.

regards
