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, with an emphasis on comfort and protecting healing tissues. With a posture-focused approach and a thorough history and examination, we work to understand factors that may be contributing to how you feel and then create a plan you can feel comfortable with. Imaging may be recommended when clinically appropriate and is not routine. Many people don’t realize ICBC may pre-approve an initial set of chiropractic visits, depending on current policies.
BECOME A PATIENT
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. If imaging wasn’t completed on the day of the accident, your chiropractor will determine if any additional imaging is clinically appropriate. Imaging is not automatic and is only recommended when indicated to support safe decision-making.
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.
