Auto Injury Care

If you are living in Alberta and have been in a car accident and in need of treatments for your injuries, fill out the necessary form such as an AB 1 form and we will do the rest. Our chiropractors are trained to assess for injuries, such as whiplash injury, and set you up with an appropriate treatment plan.

Car accidents are one of the most common injuries we see in our clinic. Even with the steps of safety precautions taken to avoid a car accident or injury, they can still occur based on other drivers’ recklessness, weather conditions, and unforeseen instances.

Our chiropractors, acupuncture providers, and registered massage therapists are trained to treat auto-related injuries. Some of the most common auto-related injuries we see at our clinic include:

• Whiplash
• Chest pain
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Knee pain
• Back pain
• Strains
• Sprains
• Hip pain
• Ankle pain
• Arm pain

While some motor vehicle accidents require short-term treatments to recover from, other injuries can be more severe and can take months to even years to heal.

After being in a car accident many of our patients seek treatment from a chiropractor due to soreness in the body, headaches, and sometimes jaw pain.

Whiplash is one of the most common auto injuries we see at our clinic. With whiplash treatment, our chiropractor will focus on reducing the inflammation that is often seen within the neck after a car accident. Acupuncture, gentle stretching, soft tissue therapy, home care exercises, and manipulation are some examples that we will use at our clinic to help with whiplash.
