Massage Therapy in the Tri-Cities for Injury Recovery

Most massage clinics sell relaxation. At NorthWest Injury Clinics, massage therapy in the Tri-Cities is part of injury care for people hurt in car accidents, on the job and in sport.

After an injury, the muscles around the neck, shoulders and low back tighten to protect the damaged area. That tension can outlast the original injury by months. Our massage therapists work on that tissue as part of a plan set with Dr. Aaron Jorgensen, DC, and our medical team, so your massage fits the rest of your care.

Auto Injury Massage After a Car Accident

Whiplash, seatbelt strain and a tight grip on the wheel at impact leave the neck, upper back and shoulders locked up. Auto injury massage releases that tissue, and it pairs well with chiropractic adjustments because looser muscles tend to hold them longer.

Pain also shows up late. Many patients feel fine at the scene and hurt days or weeks afterward, so you do not need to wait for severe symptoms before getting checked. Our post on massage after an auto accident covers timing in more detail.

One Team for Massage, Chiropractic and Medical Care

People recovering from an accident should not have to coordinate care across five different offices. Tri-Cities massage therapy at our clinics sits next to chiropractic care, Active Release Technique (ART), the McKenzie Method and our medical provider, so your notes, referrals and claim paperwork stay in one place.

We see patients from Pasco, Richland, West Richland and Kennewick. If Kennewick is closest, read about massage therapy in Kennewick. If you are coming from farther away, see our page for Spokane-area patients.

Plan and Documentation

Visit notes go into your chart so your plan and your claim reflect real progress.

Insurance, PIP and L&I Claims

We regularly work with auto insurance (PIP) claims for car accident patients and Washington L&I workers' compensation claims for people hurt at work. Bring your claim number and adjuster details to your first visit and our team will explain what applies to you.

Workplace accidents are covered here too. A fall, a lifting strain or a repetitive motion injury can all lead to the same muscle guarding, and the same documentation matters for your claim.
