motor vehicle accident (MVA) treatment

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) in Oregon either as a pedestrian, driver, passenger or bicyclist, you are legally entitled to receive medical care. In the state of Oregon, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance pays medical bills resulting from an MVA. State law mandates at least $15,000 in PIP coverage for you and each of your vehicle passengers for a period of one year after a collision - no matter who was at fault. The law also allows you to seek motor vehicle accident care from the licensed health care practitioners of your choice.

After an accident, it's important to seek clinical attention as soon as possible. Injuries often worsen over time. In fact injuries can take days, weeks or months to fully manifest. Even seemingly minor accidents may cause damage to the body - damage that can result in lifelong difficulties if not corrected.
Auto and bike accidents often have an emotional impact along with the physical injury. Integrated holistic medicine can support the nervous system as well as the physical body, allowing for healing of both physical and emotional stress from the accident.
Let our skilled and compassionate practitioners guide you through your process to full recovery. Personal Injury Protection insurance covers treatment by licensed acupuncturists, chiropractors, and massage therapists, usually at no out of pocket cost to you.
