Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident?
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia, ICBC’s Enhanced Care program covers chiropractic treatment — no out-of-pocket cost to you. Dr. Heather Johnston at Tantalus Chiropractic & Wellness is registered to provide ICBC-covered care and can begin your treatment quickly after an accident.
Common injuries from motor vehicle accidents include whiplash, back and shoulder pain, headaches, and soft tissue injuries throughout the body. Early treatment is important: research consistently shows that patients who receive prompt chiropractic care after an MVA recover faster and have lower rates of developing chronic pain.
We handle the paperwork and direct billing so you can focus on getting better. You do not need to submit expense claims or pay upfront for covered treatments.
ICBC Injuries We Treat
Whiplash & Neck Pain
The most common MVA injury — affects the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the cervical spine. Early chiropractic care dramatically reduces the risk of chronic symptoms.
Low Back Pain
Impact forces in an accident can injure the lumbar spine’s discs, facet joints, and soft tissues. We assess carefully and treat accordingly.
Headaches Post-MVA
Post-traumatic headaches are common after accidents, even minor ones. Cervicogenic headaches respond well to chiropractic treatment.
Shoulder Injuries
Seatbelt forces and bracing for impact can strain the shoulder girdle. We address rotator cuff and AC joint injuries in MVA patients.
Soft Tissue Sprains & Strains
Ligament and muscle injuries throughout the body benefit from manual therapy, rehabilitation, and guided return to activity.
Concussion Support
We coordinate care for patients with concussion, including cervicogenic contributors to post-concussion headache and dizziness.
