Medical massage for motor vehicle accidents

Healing from Physical Injury

Many whiplash injuries from motor vehicle accidents (MVA) go untreated. This can have long lasting effects. Consequently, the sooner you receive treatment for your injury, the more likely you are to heal.
Whiplash is the most common symptom of an injury resulting from a car accident. The neck pain is a soft tissue injury from an impact to the neck as it moves past it’s limits. The pain is a result of ligaments and muscles of the neck that are stretched past their limits. As a result, you might experience tenderness, pain, neck swelling, difficulty with normal neck movement, headache, and jaw pain. Your doctor will be able to evaluate the extent of your injury. They can then prescribe massage therapy after a car accident and other treatment if needed.

Medical Massage After a Car Accident

Medical massage is a special form of massage that helps in the healing process. The goal of medical massage is to lessen pain and discomfort. We will discuss your health at each massage session. Then, we can develop a treatment plan to provide you with the most beneficial path to help you heal. Your progress will be documented and I often work closely with other health care providers and provide you with the best care possible. Your massage may include shiatsu, advanced myofascial and deep tissue work, Orthobionomy, cupping, stretching, as well as hydrotherapy. It will depend on your personal preference and what techniques feel right to your body.

If you have been involved in an MVA, feel free to book an appointment with a local massage therapist and begin feeling better. Additionally, contact us via email to let us know that you are an MVA client. Furthermore, there are a few forms that will need to be filled out in order to bill your car insurance. Most importantly, recovery should be the main focus, not money. We’ll let insurance take care of that part.

Relaxation is Healing

Additionally, massage therapy after a car accident can help you to emotionally heal. Many people suffer from this type of trauma after being in an auto accident. Feeling this way is a normal response because motor vehicle accidents are traumatic events. The relaxation that you get while receiving a massage is therapeutic and beneficial. My goal is to help you be pain free and feel good physically and mentally.

A health professional such as a doctor or chiropractor can prescribe massage. No worries, I will bill your automotive insurance directly. Your only job is to simply heal.
