The one thing you do not want to think about - an auto accident (or in insurance terms - a MVA - motor vehicle accident). When it happens (again - I would never wish this on ANYONE!), you often think of going to a physical therapist or a chiropractor. Did you know that acupuncture is covered under PIP (Personal Injury Protection)? Acupuncture works right alongside of PT and chiropractic care in helping you get better faster. It works on the “stuck energy”, or pain and tight muscles by relaxing and releasing. I use a combination of the acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese massage. The combination of the three works extremely well alone, or in combination with other therapies. Whether it is a whiplash or something more serious, acupuncture can help with the pain and healing process to get you back on your feet faster.
I had severe back and hip pain from a work related injury and the pain completely resolved within a couple of months. Whenever you are having a bad day, come see Stephanie and she will definately brightn it!
