Acupuncture after a Motor Vehicle Accident

You don’t have time to be injured. Back pain, neck pain, whiplash, headaches — all of the pain and stress that can follow a car accident can be treated with acupuncture.

Being in a car accident is jarring and can lead to lingering pain. Some people immediately feel pain after an auto accident, most commonly in the neck and/or low back. But often people don’t notice any pain for a day or even several days. When you do feel pain, your instinct may be to ignore it, but the best course of action is to seek treatment. Head to your doctor if needed, but an acupuncture visit should also be one of your first stops. We can assess the pain, and treat you the same day. Acupuncture is well known for reducing pain and inflammation and speeding recovery times. In many instances people feel some amount of pain relief even after one visit. The sooner you receive treatment after an auto accident, the sooner your recovery begins.

Car Insurance pays for Acupuncture after an Auto Accident

At Solstice Natural Health, we are well-versed in billing your car insurance when you have been in an auto accident. Did you know that in Oregon you are required to have at least $15,000 of personal injury coverage for you and all passengers? This means that you get your medical bills related to injury treatment paid for 100% by your auto insurance. You are also entitled to see any provider you want, including an acupuncturist, without a doctor’s referral.

How Acupuncture Relieves Pain

Acupuncture helps relieve pain in a variety of ways:

  1. Acupuncture reduces inflammation.
  2. Acupuncture vasodilates your tissues (this means it helps improve blood flow and circulation).
  3. Acupuncture modulates your neuroendocrine system (it helps release endorphins, your natural pain killers, anti-inflammatories, and hormones to help you feel better).

Common Conditions Treated after an Auto Accident

We offer a variety of treatment modalities and styles, all aimed at helping you get out of pain while encouraging healing. We can treat all of the most common issues that result from auto accidents, including:

  • Whiplash
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Stress/PTSD
  • Post-concussive symptoms
  • Pain in your extremities

How do I know if I’m ovulating???

This is a question my patients often ask when they are #ttc . You may think it should be obvious: it’s on cycle day 14, right?

Ah, the myth of the 28 day cycle!

You theoretically ovulate on day 14 if you have a 28 day cycle.

Actual ovulation happens 12-14 days PRIOR to the start of your next menstrual cycle. So if your cycle is regular and predictable, it can be really easy to know when to take that OPK test and to know when to have sex.

If you have irregular cycles, you *could* take OPKs every day, but you can also learn what signs your body gives you so that you can narrow that window.

So look for the following:

Slippery cervical mucous that looks like raw egg white.

Increased libido— being more interested in sex is a good sign that you could be in your fertile window.

Mittelschmerz is one-sided lower abdominal pain that can be an indicator of ovulation. Not everyone has this happen, but if you do it could be a sign of ovulation.

It is an honor to support my patients through their fertility journey.

“It’s hard to fully capture how central Erin was to my fertility and pregnancy journey. An exceptionally kind practitioner, Erin cared for me during a multi-year process of fertility treatments, complications, pregnancy, and postpartum filled with highs and lows. Her expertise and guidance supported me in innumerable ways, and were fundamental—honestly decisive—on my path to motherhood. I will be forever grateful to her and her practice.” - VF
