Auto Accident Chiropractic in Downtown Vancouver
ICBC Auto Injury Care
Neck tension, a stiff back, or sore wrists after a collision are common, especially in the first days and weeks. ICBC offers pre-authorized chiropractic coverage on a no-fault basis, which means you can focus on getting care without upfront decisions about cost. At Harbourview Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, same-day appointments are available. Downtown Vancouver Chiropractor Dr. Glen Woodman provides clear explanations and hands-on care tailored to your comfort level.
Gentle Care After a Collision
Auto accident chiropractic focuses on how a crash can affect joints, muscles, and movement, even when symptoms feel minor at first. People often book in for whiplash-type strain, neck or mid-back tension, lower back or hip irritation, headaches, jaw discomfort, stiffness, or reduced range of motion. With ICBC, you can usually start care directly, with an initial block of visits available when you begin within the allowed timeframe.
How Your Coverage Works
You are automatically approved for the first 25 chiropractic visits when care begins within three months of the crash. This coverage is separate from extended benefits, so you don’t need to submit through your regular insurance.
When you book, simply provide your claim number. We confirm your coverage, handle the online forms, and submit progress updates through ICBC’s portal. If more time has passed since the collision, we can request approval through your adjuster. First visits are typically 30 minutes and include a detailed history and exam, as well as same-day care when appropriate.
