Attention all Californians who have been in a car accident! Did you know that acupuncture can be an effective treatment option for both physical and emotional trauma caused by car accidents? Here are some steps patients can take to get approved for acupuncture treatment after a car accident in California:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: The first step after a car accident is to seek medical attention. It's important to document any injuries and get a proper diagnosis from a medical professional.

  2. Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer: If you were not at fault for the accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a personal injury lawyer to help you navigate the legal process.

  3. Find an Acupuncturist: Look for a licensed acupuncturist who is experienced in treating patients with car accident injuries. They can provide an initial consultation to determine if acupuncture is a suitable treatment option.

  4. Get a Referral: Depending on the insurance policy, patients may need a referral from a medical doctor in order to receive acupuncture treatment.

  5. File a Lien: In order to ensure payment for acupuncture treatment, patients can file a lien with their personal injury lawyer. This allows the acupuncturist to be paid out of any settlement or judgment the patient may receive.

Acupuncture can be a valuable treatment option for patients who have experienced physical and emotional trauma after a car accident. It can help reduce pain, inflammation, and stress, and promote healing and overall well-being. As a licensed acupuncturist, I have seen the positive impact acupuncture can have on patients recovering from car accident injuries. If you or someone you know has been in a car accident, consider exploring acupuncture as a treatment option.
