ICBC Auto Injuries in Vernon
Even a low-speed crash can leave your neck and back feeling tight, sore, and out of balance. At Lakeside Align Chiropractic, Dr. Keegan Johnston and Dr. Michelle Poirier provide careful, measured chiropractic care for people who have been in motor vehicle accidents. We know how whiplash impacts your spine and body and want to ensure we get patients out of pain. We also want to make sure that we get them back to pre-accident condition.
Many people don’t realize ICBC may pre-approve an initial set of chiropractic visits, depending on current policies.
What to Expect at Your First Appointments
When you call, we’ll ask about your ICBC claim details and help you get set up for care. We take a detailed history of what happened during the accident and then perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the severity and extent of injuries. We then create a plan to alleviate pain and symptoms, while ensuring a safe return to activities and function.
How Chiropractic Care May Help After a Crash
Many people seek chiropractic care after an accident to help manage discomfort and support function in the spine and related joints, including:
- Whiplash-related neck discomfort and stiffness
- Headaches and shoulder discomfort
- Mid- and low-back discomfort and muscle guarding
- Hip discomfort, tingling, or nerve-related symptoms in the arms or legs
- Reduced range of motion and postural strain
Dr. Keegan and Dr. Michelle use CBP®-informed adjustments that take spinal alignment into account, with the aim of reducing stress on joints and surrounding tissues. They also use gentle tools like Activator Methods®, drop table, and Impulse® adjusting techniques—low-force methods intended to support precision and comfort. A tailored home plan (such as exercises and simple traction) is designed to support your comfort between visits, and tools like MyoVision scans may be used to review changes over time.
Support Through the Process
ICBC may cover an initial set of chiropractic visits, and in many cases we can bill approved services directly to ICBC, based on current policies. If you need more care, we can submit an extension request with updated clinical notes, in keeping with ICBC requirements. With clear plans and ongoing reassessments, we aim to keep you informed about your care and coverage status.
