Whiplash

Whiplash and Injuries from Motorized Vehicle Accidents can cause a lot of suffering, affecting a person’s quality of life on many levels. There have been many studies that have shown that acupuncture may be very helpful in healing from this type of trauma.
One study showed an 84% improvement in whiplash symptoms with patients that were treated biweekly with acupuncture in just 12 treatments (Greenwood, et al.)

Acupuncture has demonstrated a significant therapeutic effect and alleviation of pain for the following whiplash symptoms:

  • Neck Pain
  • Headache
  • TMJ
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Back Pain
  • Visual Symptoms (blurred vision)
  • Dizziness
  • Cervical Disc Herniation

Get your whiplash treated by Acupuncture! The sooner the better

Acupuncture can help to relieve inflammation and release the stiffness and tension of the neck, relieving the pain of whiplash usually within a few treatments. Additional treatments help to further strengthen the neck, improving circulation of energy and blood to the area, so that the neck is better able to heal the injury and recover fully. Acupuncture can also help to calm the anxiety, insomnia, and other emotional symptoms that often arise alongside the injury.
A series of acupuncture treatments can typically help to resolve whiplash, though the exact number of treatments needed depends on a number of factors including how long the injury has been present, the severity of the injury and its effect on the brain, a person’s age and their overall health. However, acupuncture offers real relief for whiplash sufferers and can help to minimize the neck’s vulnerability to future injury.

Of all of the people in my life, I feel most seen and supported by Elizabeth. She listens to, intuits, and understands her clients at a very deep spiritual, physical, as well as psychological level.  Elizabeth has supported me in listening to and following my own intuition and inner knowing, and has helped me become more whole, present and well. Her work is powerful, profoundly helpful, and healing. She has had extensive training in many different healing modalities, as well as meditation and spiritual study, and she brings all of this experience to her patients and teachings in very accessible ways.  She is a very grounded, down to earth and relatable human who practices and implements all of the techniques she uses to support her clients in her roles as a powerful healer, spiritual teacher and mother.  Elizabeth has been my primary support for recovering from multiple chronic physical issues, as well as through divorce and family of origin issues, and has helped me learn how to better ground and nourish myself in all my roles at home and at work. She nourishes my psychological and spiritual growth and continues to support my life in many profound and unexpected ways. I consider Elizabeth to be one of my greatest teachers.
