Auto Injury Treatments
We’ve got you covered
Our Program
In Oregon, all insured drivers carry PIP insurance, which covers the driver and all passengers in a vehicle for up to $15,000 or one year’s worth of medical bills resulting from a car accident. You have the right to choose your care, and no referral is necessary for acupuncture or chiropractic. By law, you are entitled to immediate benefits, including payment of medical bills, regardless of the circumstance or fault for the motor vehicle accident. The goal is to fully restore your health and mobility.

Acupuncture
Acute Care Specialists
A car accident is a traumatic event. Acupuncture is a natural pain reliever and it has been shown to decrease healing time for whiplash injuries. You do not need a referral or prescription to seek treatment from a licensed acupuncturist under your personal injury claim. Acupuncture is a non-invasive procedure that can be implemented at any stage of recovery from a car accident. The earlier you seek acupuncture for acute injuries, the better the outcome for recovery.
Chiropractic Care
Acute Care Specialists
Our chiropractic care is specialized to address your specific concerns, with individualized and gentle approaches to address acute injury. You do not need a referral or prescription to seek treatment from a chiropractor. After an accident, it is important to reduce the inflammation from the injury, correct the alignment of the spine, restore the range of motion to the joints, help muscle fibers heal in healthy patterns, and strengthen the neck afterward for long term stability and function.
Massage Therapy
Our Program
Massage therapy is often incorporated into auto injury care plans. The jarring experience of a car accident typically causes strain to the ligaments, muscles, and facet joints, which bear the brunt of impact. Injuries to the neck and back can often create serious pain and discomfort, challenging simple movements and the ability to enjoy life. Massage therapy has been shown to assist in recovering from auto accidents and is often combined with acupuncture and or chiropractic care. For auto accidents, massage therapy requires a referral from either your doctor or one of our acupuncturists or chiropractic providers.

Complete Holistic Care
“I was under a great deal of stress after my accident. I was able to schedule in to see chiropractic, massage and acupuncture soon after the injury. I was so grateful for the relief in pain and also the office handled billing my insurance directly and communicating my injury and needs to my insurance company.”
Making the Most of a Difficult Situation
“I was hit by a car while I was riding my bike. I did not know that I was able to get care through my PIP insurance. The providers at Therapia took over my care once I was released from the hospital. I was able to regain mobility and get back to work within a few weeks of treatment. I am so grateful!”
