You can see multiple, different practitioners for help with your injuries from a car accident. The Alberta Insurance Act covers you for treatments with physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists. You will work with your primary care provider to determine the best treatment plan for you but ultimately you choose what type of therapy you receive and which practitioner(s) you see. . . . . . . #caraccident #caraccidents #caraccidentssuck #caraccidenthelp #caraccidentinjury #caraccidentchiropractor #caraccidentphysiotherapist #autoaccident #insuranceclaim #directbilling #mva #backpain #lowbackpain #neckpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpainrelief #neckpainrelief #painrelief #yyc #southyyc #chiropractic #chiropractor #chiro #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio?? #massagetherapy #massage #livelifepainfree #energizehealth

You've called your insurance company, you've had your first appointment with a primary care provider (a physiotherapist, chiropractor or medical doctor), you've got the AB-1 paperwork out of the way! Now it's time to make a plan to resolve your injuries from your car accident. Depending on your diagnosis and degree of injury, you will be entitled to either 10 or 21 rehabilitation treatments to be used within 90 days of the accident. These treatments can be any combination of physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, or acupuncture. You will work with your primary care provider to determine the best treatment plan for you but ultimately you choose what type of therapy you receive and what practitioner(s) you choose to see. *Our clinic can directly bill your car insurance company for your treatment.* If you are not at fault for the car accident, your premiums will not increase due to accessing any treatment. Even if you are deemed to be at fault, accessing treatments will not cause any increase in your premiums as that is determined by the number of at fault accidents you have, not the cost of the accidents. . . . . . . . #caraccident #caraccidents #caraccidentssuck #caraccidenthelp #caraccidentinjury #caraccidentchiropractor #caraccidentphysiotherapist #autoaccident #insuranceclaim #directbilling #mva #backpain #lowbackpain #neckpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpainrelief #neckpainrelief #painrelief #yyc #southyyc #chiropractic #chiropractor #chiro #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio?? #massagetherapy #massage #livelifepainfree #energizehealth

HUGE congratulations to @caralb on a fantastic race this past weekend in Victoria. Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your team and for the opportunity to help you hit that finish line. You are a superstar!! 🏅🙌 @kaylaeaglept #Repost @caralb • • • • • • I realize I’m a little late for #medalmonday but had to do a little race recap about my amazing weekend on Vancouver Island for the #victoriamarathon 🏃‍♀️ * * Oh Victoria, you sure are a beautiful city to run through 😍 It was a challenging course but sooooo beautiful right by the water and running through the parks. I did zone out quite a bit after the 32km mark, but up until then the scenery was a beautiful distraction from the pain 😂 * * I’m still chasing that sub-4, but considering my last “long run” was the Millarville Half back in June, I’m quite happy that I still finished strong. Have to give an extra special THANK YOU to @darren.zabel for all of his support and encouragement going into this race (I probably would’ve bailed on this marathon months ago if not for him) AND for running me in my last km after he already crushed his own 42.2km. You have no idea how much that meant to me and how that helped me get to the finish. Thank you for being your amazing self and congrats on your incredible finish 🤗❤️ * * And another thank you to my awesome physio Kayla @energizehealthsouth for getting me back on my feet after the Calgary Ultra and helping me get to the finish line relatively painfree and with no new injuries!!! Yesssss!!!! 🙌🏻😁 . . . #runyyc #run #runhappy #runcalgary #runlikeagirl #yyc #workout #fitness #fitfam #yycfitness #instarunners #runner #runnergirl #runnersworld #runnerslife #runallthemiles #runningcommunity #runstrong #halfmarathon #marathon #marathontraining #brooksrunning #runforfun #womensrunningcommunity #nuunlife #teamnuun

@elisabethjane_rmt giving herself a quick laser sesh between patients today. Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment which uses focused light at specific wavelengths to speed up the healing process and reduce or eliminate pain from injuries and chronic conditions. The laser light stimulates the mitochondria (energy powerhouses) in all types of cells - muscle, bone, tendon, ligament, blood, etc. - causing the cells to work faster and more optimally. Plus, you get to wear cool shades. 😎 . . . . . . . #yyc #yycsouth #lasertherapy #massagetherapy #LLLT #RMTlife #cliniclife @btlphysiotherapy

You've already done step 1 and contacted your car insurance company to report the accident, and we've covered that they won't raise your premium regardless of the cost of your claim, including any cost of rehabilitation treatment. Now onto car accident step 2 and 3! . As soon as possible, book an appointment with one of our chiropractors, one of our physiotherapists, or your medical doctor. One of these health care providers will fill out what's called an AB-2 assessment form. This is the official diagnosis of your injuries from the car accident, and that practitioner will become your primary care provider for your insurance claim. . At the same time, within 10 days of your accident, you need to fill out a similar form called an AB-1 (Proof of Loss). This form is your official statement to your insurance company regarding what happened and where you are feeling pain/injury. These forms can be found online, or we have them available at the clinics. . If you are looking to book your first appointment after an MVA with one of our chiropractors or physiotherapists, please call us and we will be happy to assist you in booking an initial assessment appointment. . . . . . . #caraccident #caraccidents #caraccidentssuck #caraccidenthelp #caraccidentinjury #caraccidentchiropractor #caraccidentphysiotherapist #autoaccident #insuranceclaim #mva #backpain #lowbackpain #neckpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpainrelief #neckpainrelief #painrelief #yyc #southyyc #chiropractic #chiropractor #chiro #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio #livelifepainfree #energizehealth

A bunch of the team from the @energizehealthnorth and @energizehealthsouth are taking shockwave training and certification this week! 📚 Shockwave is basically a mini jackhammer for the human body: a projectile is propelled inside the hand-piece where it generates a mechanical pressure wave that is transferred to the human body (think about how it feels to stand in front of a sub woofer... and then focus that pressure down to the size of a quarter). This mechanical wave triggers reactions in the tissue that have a positive influence on a wide range of orthopedic and neurological conditions (some of which are hashtagged below). Most often we use shockwave therapy when a person suffers from a long term, chronic injury or pain syndrome - when the body has long since stopped trying to heal the issue itself. . . . . . . . . #shockwave #shockwavetherapy #chronicinjury #chronicpain #chronicpainrelief #plantarfasciitis #footpain #patellatendonitis #runnersknee #tenniselbow #shinsplints #chronichippain #chronicneckpain #chronicbackpain #yyc #yycmassage #yycshockwave #energizehealth #livelifepainfree @btlphysiotherapy

The first step when you've been involved in a car accident is a call to your car insurance company. They will ask a number of questions including the insurance information of the other party/ parties involved (be sure to write this down or take a picture of their insurance document!) You car insurance company will open 2 claims: one for your property (the vehicle) and, if applicable, one for your injuries. Keep these claim numbers handy as you will need them from time to time throughout your claim. . . . . . . . . . #caraccident #caraccidents #caraccidentssuck #caraccidenthelp #caraccidentinjury #caraccidentchiropractor #caraccidentphysiotherapist #autoaccident #carwreck #insuranceclaim #carinsurance #injuryclaim #mva #backpain #lowbackpain #neckpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpainrelief #neckpainrelief #painrelief #yyc #southyyc #chiropractic #chiropractor #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio #winterdriving

No! Accessing treatment for your injuries will not cause an increase to your car insurance premiums. Even if you are deemed to be at fault for the accident, premium increases related to car accidents are determined by the number of at fault accidents a person has, not the cost of the accident(s). If there is one thing we know inside out, it's car accidents. Over the next few days, we will be sharing key facts about what to do if you are involved in a car accident and how our team can help. . . . . . . . . . #caraccident #caraccidents #caraccidentssuck #caraccidenthelp #caraccidentinjury #caraccidentchiropractor #caraccidentphysiotherapist #autoaccident #carwreck #insuranceclaim #mva #backpain #lowbackpain #neckpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpainrelief #neckpainrelief #painrelief #yyc #southyyc #chiropractic #chiropractor #chiro #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #physio?? #winterdriving #yycsnow #snow
