What to do after a car accident in Alberta
Even a "minor" fender-bender transfers significant force through your spine. Pain often ramps up 24-72 hours after the adrenaline fades. Here's the path we recommend:
- Get medical clearance for anything serious — ER or family doctor if red flags are present
- Report the collision to your insurance company and get a claim number
- Book your assessment — in Alberta you're entitled to treatment under Section B benefits of your auto policy, regardless of who was at fault
- Start treatment early — research consistently shows early, active rehab leads to faster, more complete whiplash recovery
Bring your claim number, insurer name, and collision date to your first visit — we take care of the rest, including the assessment forms and treatment plan your insurer requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about this service.
Who pays for physiotherapy after a car accident in Alberta?
Your own auto insurer, under Section B accident benefits — regardless of fault. We bill the insurer directly, so approved treatment typically costs you nothing out of pocket.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start MVA physiotherapy?
No. You can book directly with us after a collision. We complete the required insurer assessment forms and coordinate with your physician as needed.
How soon after an accident should I start treatment?
Within the first days to weeks, once serious injury is ruled out. Early active treatment is strongly linked to better whiplash outcomes — and Alberta's insurance protocols are designed around prompt care.
What if my pain started days after the collision?
That's extremely common — whiplash symptoms often appear or worsen 24-72 hours post-collision. Delayed onset doesn't reduce your entitlement to Section B treatment.
Can I get massage or see a psychologist under my MVA claim?
Often yes. Massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and psychology can all be included in Alberta MVA treatment when clinically indicated — and we offer all of them in one clinic.
