Motor Vehicle Accidents

ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) is the main insurer for motor vehicle accidents in British Columbia, Canada. Chiropractic care is a common form of treatment for people who have suffered injuries in motor vehicle accidents (MVA).

Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat injuries to the musculoskeletal system, which includes the spine, joints, and muscles. They use a variety of techniques, such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercise prescription, to help patients recover from their injuries.

Research has shown that chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for a range of injuries commonly sustained in motor vehicle accidents, such as whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and headaches. Chiropractic care can also help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Your chiropractor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. 

It is important to note that ICBC provides coverage for chiropractic care for up to 25 visits within 12 weeks of the date of the accident. However, additional visits may be covered if the treatment is deemed necessary by your healthcare provider and is authorized by your ICBC adjuster. You may also need the assistance of Physiotherapy, Registered massage Therapy, Kinesiology (or Active Rehab), and/or Clinical Counseling, to help with your recovery. All of these disciplines are conveniently located in the painPRO nearest to you.

In conclusion, chiropractic care can be an effective form of treatment for people who have suffered injuries in motor vehicle accidents. If you have been injured in a MVA, it is important to seek medical attention and work with your healthcare provider and ICBC adjuster to develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
