Is my accident covered? Have you been injured in an auto accident or a Labor and Industries claim? Typically, with a doctor's referral for massage your Labor and Industries or auto accident massage will cover massage expenses. We bill directly to your auto insurance PIP coverage or to the Department of Labor and Industries. It is outside the scope of our practice to offer legal advice so we always recommend you work with a lawyer and have several we can recommend. If you have questions about your coverage, ask our friendly office staff to help - we are more than happy to assist if we can.   Injury Treatment Within the first couple days of injury an excess of tissue regrowth can occur. This may cause adhesions and or scar tissue. Immediately following an injury other muscles will compensate for weakened structures. With the aid of massage you can begin by addressing compensating muscles to reduce their fatigue and as time passes and bruising disappears. Scar tissue and adhesions can be broken down at you injury site. Something to remember in case of an injury is to always begin with ice! Apply ice immediately to the injured area to decrease swelling and possible tissue damage. Heat is used later as all signs of bruising and inflammation are gone. Get back to your old self or better by systematic massaging and use of ice and heat to both the injured and compensating muscle groups. Increased Chiropractic Success As your muscles are relaxed and shift into place your bones gain a better chance at returning to their intended alignment. I believe that chiropractic work without massage will cause the need for indefinite amounts of adjustments as the tight or displaced muscles pull the bones back out of place. Although the pull on the bones will lessen each time, I believe there will be a need for fewer adjustments when massage is added into the mix. I also believe that massage has much better treatment results when combined with chiropractic work.
