Motor Vehicle Incidents
How acupuncture can help
We do not understand how stressful or harmful driving can be until we get into an accident. If your car accident or motor vehicle incident (MVI) is not life threatening, acupuncture and Asian medicine can be a part of your care. We help our patients get back to their work, daily life requirements and recreational activities. Even non life threatening car accidents or motor vehicle incidents can affect performance in your career/livelihood. Additionally, if your MVI has affected your ability to perform daily housework, like grocery shopping, dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, taking out the trash, changing, gardening, yard work, or taking care of your kids and pets, then acupuncture can help get you back to your activities of daily living.
Rejuve Acupuncture decreases all types of pain conditions, increases ROM, decrease headaches, alleviates stress/anxiety/depression, reduces post concussive symptoms, recovers the ability to fall and stay asleep and helps regulate the nervous system.
