It can also help reduce your stress while you are recuperating. Massage therapy after a car accident is important in helping you recover. It helps restore balance to your autonomic nervous system as well as reverse the effects of shock and trauma. Seeking massage therapy in the first few days following an accident can help prevent tissue scarring.

Acupuncture for MVAs

Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used for thousands of years to treat musculoskeletal pain. When it comes to motor vehicle accidents, acupuncture is recognized as a safe and beneficial way to alleviate pain. Acupuncture can help address soft tissue injuries by stimulating neurotransmitters and encouraging your body’s natural healing process. This can prevent injuries from setting in and becoming chronic. Learn more about our Acupuncture Treatment Services.

Manual Osteopathy for MVAs

Even though the symptoms of whiplash tend to go away after a couple of weeks, some patients may be left with chronic pain and stiffness in the neck. This can lead to painful muscle spasms and poor posture. These lingering symptoms can be prevented through osteopathy treatment by reducing pain and inflammation as well as restoring mobility and function throughout the body. Learn more about our Osteopathy Treatment Services.
