The aftermath of a car accident can be painful to deal with and debilitating for some if left untreated. Acupuncture has shown to be an effective method of treatment for those sustaining auto injuries. This gentle and safe form of treatment helps to alleviate pain and speed up the healing process to get you on your road to recovery as quickly as possible. Acupuncture’s approach to treatment looks at the body as a whole, rather than solely focusing on the symptoms, supporting a more holistic form of medicine.

The most common type of injury is a whiplash. A whiplash occurs when a powerful force causes a sudden jolt in movement that causes your head to move violently back and forth in response. A whiplash causes the body to experience unnatural movement that harms the structure of the body. The body undergoes an overextension of the muscles and ligaments in the neck that can cause serious damage if not treated quickly.

Symptoms of Whiplash

The most common symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Shoulder pain
  • Numbness

 

Treating Whiplash with Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help the healing process of a whiplash by reducing, treating and eliminating pain. The pain experienced from a whiplash is usually a result of a tissue inflammation. Acupuncture can reduce this inflammation by improving blood flow and increasing circulation. Acupuncture can also help the body release endorphins which can act as natural painkillers. Other ways acupuncture can help the body is by increasing the range of motion for the neck and shoulder area and increasing the speed of the healing process in the neck and back. While Western medicine places greater focus on the specific symptoms patients experience, Eastern medicine looks at all the different elements in the body and how one area works with another. As a result, acupuncture’s greatest benefit is the overall improved quality of life.

Auto injuries can be extremely painful with many people struggling to go back to their normal lifestyles. Do not put your body at more risk of other health problems by not getting the necessary treatment. If you are looking for a different approach to recovery, acupuncture can be an effective form of treatment.
