Physio Treatments for ICBC Customers for Post-MVA Care

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia is a for-profit insurance company that helps licensed drivers in the province get the care they need for recovery following automobile accidents. In addition, the insurance can also cover a portion of your lost wages and provide you with additional benefits as you recover at home.

One of the best treatment options following an automobile accident is ICBC physiotherapy. Physiotherapy can relieve symptoms of whiplash as well as headaches, neck pain and back pain. This can help you move on with your life, relieve discomfort that is negatively affecting your quality of life and get back to your normal routines as quickly as possible.

Your physiotherapist will create an individualized treatment plan to address the injuries and complaints that you have. Physiotherapists have plenty of treatment and educational options at their fingertips and can adjust treatment plans based on how you are progressing. Some of the most common options include the following:

Manual therapy
Hot and cold therapy
Ultrasound therapy
Stretching
Strengthening exercises
At-home exercises
Education on posture

These treatments are designed to support your body’s natural recovery process. They can help to eliminate long-term or recurrent pain and can give you an arsenal of exercises and stretches that you can do at home to combat mild discomfort that may arise in the future. In some cases, physiotherapy can even help you avoid more aggressive treatments, such as pain-relieving medications and surgery.

How to Get a Physiotherapy Treatment Plan Covered by ICBC

For a very small user fee, you can get up to 25 physiotherapy sessions paid for by ICBC. For many people, this may be sufficient care to eliminate pain and any future problems. You do not have to wait for ICBC to approve your claim, nor do you have to be referred for physiotherapy by your physician. Instead, as soon as you turn in your claim, you can schedule your first physiotherapy appointment covered by ICBC. ICBC care is primarily reserved for those who had an MVA within the past three months although you may be able to get benefits beyond this time.
