We Have One Goal: Getting You Back on Your Feet

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that differs from other approaches to healing, including physical therapy or massage therapy. There are over 2,000 acupuncture points across the body. Each connects various energy flows, or “Qi.”

Each needle is strong enough to trigger the healing process when inserted. If this is your first treatment, you will feel slight pressure or a pinch. An acupuncturist might heat the needles or use an electric current to apply them.

Here are several benefits to starting acupuncture:

• Increased blood flow
• Enhanced immune system
• Less inflammation
• Minimized pain
• Create a better range of motion
• Improves organ function
• Causes better sleeping patterns
• Full body recovery

What Does Acupuncture Treat?

The National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) recognized acupuncture as an effective stand-alone treatment. We heal any injury that has caused you chronic pain, long-term damage, or emotional traumas.

Headaches and Migraines

Post-traumatic headaches or migraines can feel debilitating or indicate severe damage like a concussion or traumatic brain injuries. If a medical professional ruled it is neither a severe injury, you should try acupuncture to reduce inflammation and pain.

Headaches are pretty common after an accident, with the possibility of turning into a migraine. When victims suffer trauma near the neck or head, the sheer force is dangerous. Even low-impact collisions can be traumatic, causing:

• Whiplash
• Pinched nerves in the spine
• Muscle injuries
• Herniated discs

Head injuries to be mindful of after a car accident are:

• Cervicogenic headaches - caused when the crash damages the cervical spine (neck).
• Tension headaches - easier to detect, as you have strained or torn neck muscles.
• Migraine headaches - might be a persistent issue that you face. It could be a sign of further vascular injuries.

It can take up to six sessions before you see significant change. When thin needles get inserted into designated acupuncture points, it can slow pain transmission across the body. In other words, it cuts the source of pain from circulating or getting recognized by the brain.

Musculoskeletal Pain

Look out for neck and back injuries after a car crash. In most cases, patients often overlook minimal pain caused when their heads or bodies are pushed back during the collision.

Herniated Discs

If you notice that pain is starting to spread to your shoulder, arm, and hands in the next few weeks, that’s an indicator you have a herniated disc. It is typically followed by:

• Numbness
• Tingling
• Stiffness
• Increased pain

Hua Tuo Jia Ji acupuncture points are mainly used when treating herniated disks. Physician Hua Tuo discovered these points in 110 A.D. Since then, it has been a popular way to deliver personal injury acupuncture treatment along the cervical spine.

Because this is a natural localized approach, be honest about your injuries before starting personal injury acupuncture treatment in Los Angeles. We want to ensure you start seeing results from the moment you leave our center.

Neck injuries to be mindful of after a car accident are:

• Soft tissue injuries - targets muscles and ligaments. There are no signs of pain, numbness, or tingling other than the neck. The pain you experience might linger for periods or feel weakened.
• Neck injury (minor to severe) with a herniated disc can affect the cervical nerve. Herniated discs cause your neck pain to transfer across the body. We recommend scheduling an appointment for acupuncture immediately after a car crash.
• Neck injury without a herniated disc could be a fracture or neck dislocation. Without proper treatment, it can cause further damage to the spine.

Personalized Approach to Recovery

Recovery can feel like a long haul, and pain differs for everyone after a car accident.

Acupuncture has always been a popular holistic approach to healing – especially for severe injuries. After a consultation with an auto accident acupuncturist in LA and an extensive review of your injuries, we will compose an integrated treatment plan.
