Acupuncture and Car Accidents

8 things Inner Gate Acupuncture can do for you after a car accident:

     •Reduce your pain and muscle spasms

     •Speed up your recovery

     •Prevent re-injury

     •Reduce inflammation

     •Reestablish stability and strength in damaged joints and tendons

If you have been in an automobile collision or car accident (as the driver, passenger, pedestrian or while on a bicycle), there are certain things you should know:

All your medical bills resulting from the motor vehicle collision are paid for by personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. By law, Oregon has mandated that you, and all passengers in your car, have up to $15,000 each to cover any medical bills resulting from the car accident. You have the right to see any doctor of your choice, including an acupuncturist, and no referral is necessary

We can refer you to the best lawyers and medical providers available here in the Portland area. We have a trusted community to serve all your needs.

Common symptoms resulting from a car accident:

     •Whiplash

     •Neck / Shoulder pain and stiffness

     •Headaches

     •Dizziness

     •Difficulty focusing

     •Low back pain

     •Sleeplessness

     •Irritability

At our Portland acupuncture clinic we use Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine and massage to help you recovery quickly. While acupuncture alone is great for relieving pain and reducing inflammation, the addition of tuina massage helps restore proper range of motion to damaged joints. Furthermore, herbal medicines can quicken the healing process and stop pain by reducing inflammation, promoting blood circulation and relaxing muscles and tendons.

If you need additional work beyond acupuncture, Inner Gate Acupuncture has a strong network of health care providers—Chiropractors, Licensed Massage Therapists, M.Ds—that we can refer you to. To find out more information about this you can ask Erik Isaacman, Oliver Leonetti, Casey McGuire ot Tanya zhu directly.
