Motor Vehicle Accident Acupuncture

Motor vehicle accidents often leave soft-tissue injuries that don't show up on an X-ray or scan but are very real day to day — whiplash, muscle guarding, nerve irritation. Acupuncture treats this tissue directly, and is frequently combined with electro-acupuncture, acupressure, cupping or gua sha depending on what you need.

Treatment is usually structured as a course rather than a single visit, since soft-tissue recovery happens gradually. Your practitioner builds a plan around your specific injuries and adjusts it as you improve.

Your first visit covers what happened, where it hurts, and what's changed since the accident. From there we build a course of treatment — commonly weekly sessions over several weeks — combining needling with complementary techniques as needed.
