Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) & Workers Compensation Board (WCB)

Accelerate Your Recovery After Accident

Whiplash is commonly known as a neck injury, sprains or strains are all common injuries that can occur in a car accident. Typical symptoms are head, neck, upper back pain and sometimes arm and low back pain. Symptoms may not appear for several hours after an accident, or can be delayed for days or even weeks.

The neck and back are more likely to develop osteoarthritis and chronic pain due to even minor whiplash.

74% of acute whiplash cases that are not helped by conventional treatments are improved with chiropractic care. You do not need a referral from your family medical doctor in order to start treatment with your chiropractor.
