Frequently Asked Questions

How does acupuncture helps after car accident?
Choosing acupuncture after a car accident can be a wise decision because it addresses both physical and emotional recovery in a holistic way. Here are key reasons why acupuncture is beneficial after an accident:
  1. Pain Relief: Acupuncture effectively treats pain from injuries such as whiplash, neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, and joint discomfort. It stimulates the body’s natural painkillers, endorphins, and helps reduce inflammation, which speeds up recovery.
  2. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: Unlike pain medications that may come with side effects or risk of dependency, acupuncture is a natural, non-invasive treatment option. It helps the body heal itself without introducing foreign substances.
  3. Addresses Emotional Trauma: Car accidents can leave a lasting emotional impact, leading to stress, anxiety, or even PTSD. Acupuncture has a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones and improve emotional well-being.
  4. Restores Mobility: By improving blood flow and reducing muscle tightness, acupuncture supports the healing of soft tissue injuries, enhancing your range of motion and flexibility. This is crucial for recovering from injuries that limit mobility.
  5. Holistic Approach: In Chinese medicine, the body and mind are interconnected. Acupuncture treats both the physical injuries and the emotional stress of the accident, promoting overall balance and recovery.
  6. Covered by ICBC: In British Columbia, ICBC covers up to 12 acupuncture treatments for accident recovery, making it an accessible and affordable option to aid your rehabilitation.
