Acupuncture for

Personal Injury in Bellevue WA

If you have recently been in a car accident, it’s common to feel pain, stiffness, or fatigue even after a minor collision. At Hopespring Wellness in Bellevue, we specialize in helping patients recover through acupuncture and holistic rehabilitation. Our clinic bills Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance directly, so you can start treatment immediately and focus on healing while we handle the paperwork.

​

What Is PIP?

​

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is part of your auto insurance that covers medical care after a vehicle accident—regardless of who was at fault. In Washington State, insurance companies are required by law to offer PIP coverage, and most drivers have it unless they declined it in writing.

Your PIP benefits may include:

• Medical care such as acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
• Lost wages (within policy limits)
• Essential household services if you are unable to perform them
• Funeral expenses in severe cases

 

There are no deductibles or copays with PIP, and you can begin treatment right away without waiting for an insurance or legal decision.

Why Acupuncture Helps After a Car Accident

Acupuncture helps the body restore balance and recover naturally after trauma. It improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and calms the nervous system. This combination is especially effective for both physical and emotional stress following a crash.

Common post-accident symptoms acupuncture can help with include:

• Neck and shoulder pain (whiplash)
• Back pain or sciatica
• Headaches or migraines
• TMJ or jaw tension
• Numbness, tingling, or tightness in muscles
• Fatigue or mental fog
• Sleep disturbance or anxiety

 

Acupuncture helps relieve pain, promote recovery, and prevent chronic tension from developing. When combined with gentle manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises, it supports a complete and long-lasting recovery.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your first visit, we take time to understand your health history, symptoms, and the nature of the accident. Your treatment plan will focus on reducing pain, restoring circulation, and improving your overall function.

A typical session includes:

• Acupuncture to relieve pain and reduce inflammation
• Herbal Medicine assist acupuncture to release tight muscles and improve joint movement
• Home care advice on posture, rest, and self-care to support recovery

 

Each treatment builds on your progress and helps your body heal in a balanced way.

How to Use PIP for Acupuncture Care

We make the billing process easy for our patients.

1. Contact your auto insurance provider and get your PIP claim number.

2. Bring your claim number and adjuster’s information to your first visit.

3. Our staff will handle PIP billing directly so you can focus on healing.

4. No referral is required, and treatment can begin immediately.

If you have an attorney, doctor, or physical therapist involved in your recovery, we can coordinate with them (with your permission) to ensure consistent documentation and care.

​

When to Start Treatment

The best time to start acupuncture is as soon as possible after a car accident. Early care helps reduce inflammation, prevent scar tissue formation, and lower the risk of long-term pain. Even if you feel fine right after the crash, symptoms may appear several days later. Starting early helps:
• Speed up recovery
• Prevent chronic pain
• Improve sleep and energy
• Support emotional and nervous system balance
