Motor Vehicle Accident

The Centre for Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation is a multi-practitioner clinic that specializes in taking a soft-tissue, therapeutic approach to musculoskeletal injuries. With three chiropractors, two massage therapists, and a registered acupuncturist, all of your bases are covered as far as your rehabilitative needs are concerned. Your practitioners work together to ensure that you receive the care you deserve and are able to provide a referral to other specialists, reporting to your family doctor to request pain therapy injections or imaging, and alternate care if necessary. Everything from initial examination and treatment to rehabilitation and self-care is readily available to you.

The practitioners at the clinic have your best interest in mind; they will give honest opinions about your diagnosis, what treatment they feel you need (or don’t), and will offer advice should you choose to seek alternate care. No question is stupid, and everyone, administrators included, is happy to answer any questions you may have. The entire team at the Centre for Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation work to make your experience with rehabilitation as seamless as possible.

Our multi-discipline approach to injuries is especially beneficial to Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA), patients simply because they can get all of the treatment they need in the same location; massage therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture all from the same place. With the ability to directly bill your MVA insurance, as well as your own personal benefits under Section B of your coverage, all of your bases are covered.

Whether you choose to see a chiropractor, massage therapist, and/or acupuncturist for your MVA needs, your practitioner at the Centre for Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation will help you understand what you are entitled to from day one. Your doctor or therapist will tell you what to expect from your treatment and with help from the administrative team, will make your experience dealing with your motor vehicle insurance as painless as possible! We will help you with what you need from your insurance company, provide the forms that need to be completed, send them to your insurance adjuster in a timely manner and communicate with them as much as possible to ensure that you are able to receive all of the treatment that you need and are entitled to.

Generally, when you seek treatment following an MVA you will first be examined and a treatment plan will be laid out for you – based on a combination of what works best for your schedule, and what your practitioner feels would best suit your condition. WAD I injuries are allotted 9 treatments following their initial exam, whereas WAD II (most common), are allotted 21 treatments within 90 days (Section A), following the accident. These treatments may include chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture or physiotherapy, but must not equate to more than 21 sessions in total. At the end of this period, your primary practitioner performs another exam and will discharge you from treatment if you have returned to pre-accident status, or will request additional treatment from your motor vehicle accident insurance if he/she feels you have more room to improve (Section B).  In Section B the maximum coverage for chiropractic care is $1000, massage therapy is $350 and acupuncture is $350, however, you must use all of your own extended health benefits prior to accessing these additional funds and a statement indicating that the benefits have been exhausted, is required. Our administrative team is happy to coordinate with your MVA insurance once your benefits have been exhausted, in order to re-establish direct billing.
