You got into a car accident and…
It is so important to acknowledge that a car accident is more than just a physical event; it is a significant shock to your entire well-being. When your body and nervous system undergo such a jarring experience, the path to healing requires a gentle, comprehensive touch.
A Comprehensive Approach to Your Recovery
Healing after a car accident involves much more than just treating the spine or joints. Your body is a delicate ecosystem, and a sudden collision can affect everything from your soft tissues, like muscles and nerves, to your internal sense of calm.
Caring for Your Nervous System
When an accident occurs, the body often stays in a "high alert" state. If the nervous system remains stuck in this stress response, it can actually slow down your natural healing process, causing pain to linger longer than it should. By addressing this shock directly, we help unlock your body’s ability to truly repair itself.
Tailored Specifically for You
Because no two journeys are the same, I incorporate a variety of gentle, evidence-based therapies designed to support your body as a whole. Together, we will create a treatment plan that honors your unique needs, helping you move past the injury and back into a life of comfort and ease.
Personalized Care for Your Unique Health Journey
It is also important to recognize that your health history is an essential part of your recovery. If you are managing underlying conditions—such as MS, dysautonomia, diabetes, PTSD or high blood pressure—your body requires a more specialized, nuanced approach to healing. We take the time to understand these complexities to ensure your care is as safe as it is effective.
Acupuncture
To help you better understand the diverse ways we can support your recovery, I’ve organized our specialized acupuncture approaches into a clear guide. This allows us to select the most effective "tool" for your body’s specific state on any given day.
Chinese Herbs and Supplements
In the journey toward healing after an accident, what we put into our bodies is just as important as the physical care we receive. I often recommend a thoughtful blend of supplements and Chinese Herbs to support your recovery from two distinct, yet complementary, angles.
Alpha-Stim Therapy
When treating someone recovering from a motor vehicle accident, the focus often shifts to how the mind and body hold onto the trauma of the impact. Alpha-Stim Therapy bridges the gap between physical pain and the "invisible" symptoms like anxiety or "brain fog" that often follow a collision or traumatic brain injury.
Bodywork
In the aftermath of an accident, your muscles often hold onto tension and "stagnation"—a feeling of being stuck or tight as the body tries to protect itself. At Meeha Mindbody, I incorporate therapeutic bodywork into every recovery plan to help your tissues breathe, move, and heal again.
