I am currently receiving treatment after a recent car accident. My arms and legs often tingle, and about a week after the accident, the area around my neck suddenly stiffened, making it incredibly uncomfortable to turn my head. I painfully realized that the saying that traffic accident aftereffects can set in, even if a little late, is true. After heat therapy, I proceed with physical therapy. Next, the doctor comes to examine me and administer acupuncture. Since it was my first time getting acupuncture, I was quite scared, but they administered it well without causing any pain. They explained that while acupuncture on the soles of the feet is necessary for numb legs, it can be painful and startling for a beginner, so they placed the needles in my calves instead. It was fascinating to see my calf muscles twitch. On my first visit, I also received medicine to loosen up my neck and shoulders. I picked it up during my visit the next day, and after drinking the strong herbal medicine, I can definitely feel some improvement. The doctor told me that my neck and shoulders would get much better and advised me to take the medicine diligently until the end. When getting medication from an orthopedic clinic, you pay out of pocket and then send it to the insurance company to get reimbursed later, but with herbal medicine, the bill is processed directly to the insurance company, which was more convenient.
