Just Had an Accident? The First Two Weeks Matter
Many accident patients wait — they go to the ER, get told to rest, then start physical therapy because that’s the default system path. By the time they realize it isn’t fully resolving, weeks or months have passed and PIP coverage may be partly used.
You don’t have to follow that path.
Starting acupuncture in the first two weeks after an accident can:
- Reduce acute inflammation before it develops into chronic pain patterns
- Support the nervous system’s early trauma response
- Often require fewer sessions than treating chronic injury months later
- Maximize your PIP coverage while it is still fully available
Auto injuries can affect different areas of the body, including the neck or lower back. Early care may help reduce lingering pain such as neck pain or sciatica that sometimes develops after an accident.
Your auto insurance covers acupuncture under the same PIP benefits as chiropractic or physical therapy. Most patients are seen within days, and you can call us the week of your accident to schedule.
Still in Pain After Traditional Treatments?
Most auto accident victims in the Twin Cities follow the same path: ER, then Physical Therapy, then Chiropractic care. But for many, the pain persists.
-
Lingering Whiplash: Persistent neck stiffness, headaches, or lingering brain fog that may indicate deeper neurological stress.
-
Deep Soft-Tissue Damage: Hidden injuries that traditional stretching can’t reach.
-
Failed Results: Feeling like you’re just “managing” pain rather than curing it.
The Steven Sonmore Difference: Why We Succeed Where Others Fail
30 years of experience in Edina, Steven Sonmore, L.Ac. doesn’t just “do acupuncture.” He uses a highly specialized protocol designed for rapid trauma recovery:
-
The Balance Method: A unique technique that provides immediate results, often reducing pain during the very first session.
-
Rapid Release Technology: Targeted high-frequency vibration to break up the internal scarring and adhesions caused by high-impact collisions.
-
Nervous System Reset: We address the “trauma loop” in your body, allowing your system to finally exit ‘fight or flight’ and begin true healing.
| Traditional Care (PT/Chiro) | The Balance Method (Steven Sonmore) |
| General stretching and cracking | Specific distal acupuncture (fast relief) |
| Often focuses on symptoms | Targets the “Root” & “Branch” of the injury |
| Can take months for minor change | Results often felt in the very first session |
| Standard insurance billing | Specialized “No-Fault” claims handling |

“I have been to see Steven for a bad neck injury sustained 30 years ago in a severe car accident. I was skeptical, as I had already exhausted all other options including numerous physical therapy and massage sessions. I can now say that I have full mobility of my neck muscles that I haven’t had since my accident 30 years ago. Steven is the real deal.”

“After a car accident in 2021 that resulted in a concussion, severe headaches, and vision issues, I spent three years in physical therapy and chiropractic treatments with only minor improvement. I started seeing Steven in 2025 and experienced notable improvement within two or three weeks. My symptoms have virtually disappeared and I feel restored to a normal life.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accident Acupuncture
How soon after a car accident should I begin acupuncture?
It is best to begin treatment as soon as possible to reduce inflammation and prevent acute injuries from becoming chronic patterns.
Will insurance cover acupuncture after an auto accident?
Yes. Under Minnesota’s no-fault law your auto insurer is required to cover acupuncture for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident – the same as physical therapy or chiropractic. We verify your coverage before your first appointment and handle all billing directly with your insurer. Most patients pay $0 out-of-pocket.
How many treatments are typically needed?
This depends on severity, but many patients begin noticing improvement within the first few sessions.
