By Michigan state law every driver of a motor vehicle, registered in Michigan, has PIP (Personal Injury Protection) as part of their auto insurance policy.
If you are injured in an auto accident normally your health insurance (i.e. Blue Cross Blue Shield, HAP, etc.) will not pay for our services. This is because these companies will not register massage therapists as service providers for their members. The good news is that your auto insurance will pay for services that your health insurance does not cover; regardless of who caused the accident.
Not only does your car insurance pay for your car to be restored to its original condition, it also covers the costs associated with seeking health care in our office.
Many people minimize the effects they’ve suffered because their car shows little or no damage. Research shows that in low-impact collisions, since the car sustains a relatively modest damage, energy instead is transferred to the occupants! Collisions occurring at speeds as low as five miles an hour can lead to significant cervical or neck injury. Even if an accident causes no broken bones, a victim may suffer "soft-tissue" injuries that last for months, or sometimes years.
Because you and I are so adaptive, it can take weeks, months and sometimes years for undetected damage to show up as chronic headaches, backaches, stiff neck or even low back pain. Even if you are not suffering these problems now, keep us in mind later, if they appear.
It does not matter how long ago you incurred your injury. If you are still being treated by a physician for an auto collision related condition you are eligible for treatment by us with no cost to you.
If you have not considered massage therapy due to past experience you may want to give Touch Therapy Associates a try. Many of our patients tell us our approach differs from other massages they have had. We take the time to evaluate and answer your questions, explain what we find and offer choices.
Patient massages are performed with the specific intent of improving conditions that have been diagnosed and prescribed by their physician.
All patients will be treated using either massage therapy, manual therapy techniques or a combination of two directed by a physician. Once your doctor determines that Touch Therapy is medically necessary, a prescription is written detailing the diagnosis, the areas to be treated and the frequency and duration of the treatment.
We are dedicated to providing you the best service possible for patients and clients alike. Each Touch Therapy Associate is committed to doing their very best to meet and exceed your expectations and to honor you by:
Our ultimate goal is that you will leave your “Touch Therapy Experience” wanting to share our services with your family and friends.
