Car accidents can cause injuries that aren’t always obvious right away. Whiplash — a neck injury caused by the sudden back-and-forth motion of a collision — is the most common, but accidents can also cause back pain, headaches, shoulder injuries, and dizziness. Symptoms may take 24 to 72 hours to appear, so it’s important to get assessed even if you feel fine at first.
Common symptoms
Neck pain and stiffness · Headaches · Shoulder or upper back pain · Dizziness · Reduced range of motion in the neck · Tingling or numbness in the arms
How we treat it
Your treatment starts with a full assessment. Depending on your injuries, your plan may include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, and laser therapy — beginning with gentle movement and progressing to strengthening so you recover safely and fully.
Car accident claims (MVA)
In Ontario, your auto insurance covers your treatment whether or not the accident was your fault, and you don’t need a doctor’s referral to start. We complete and submit the insurance (OCF) forms for you and bill your auto insurer directly — no upfront cost for approved claims.
