The Ways Acupuncture & Massage Therapy
Can Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
Whiplash
Whiplash can cause neck pain, headaches, dizziness and more. Acupuncture and massage therapy can relax the affected muscles, release myofascial restrictions and liberate deep muscle tension, adhesions and scar tissue.
Physical Injury
Injuries to the neck, shoulders, back and knees are very common in Motor Vehicle Accidents. Massage and acupuncture can help these affected muscles, joints and soft tissue heal faster. Techniques such as Gua Sha, Cupping, Swedish and Joint Mobilization can help facilitate this process.
Emotional Trauma
A car accident is a traumatic event. You may be left with some deep emotional trauma in addition to physical injuries and these may last long after the physical wounds have healed. Massage and acupuncture can bring you to a state of total relaxation that may help you release and unwind these emotions that get stuck within muscle tension.
Concussion
A concussion is a serious trauma to the brain from an impact. Acupuncture and massage can help quicken the healing process by working on specific trigger points and points on the scalp known to have an immediate effect on brain function that also reduces stress and tension around various parts of your body and thus help you recover from dizziness, blurriness, confusion, and other related symptoms of concussion.
