Vehicle Accidents & Whiplash Treatment in Alberta & Ontario
Book Appointment
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, you may feel the effects for a long time. Pain associated with a collision is common, but does not have to be a permanent addition to your life.
After your accident, seeking treatment as soon as possible is imperative to minimizing lasting effects and chronic pain. Treating problems in their acute phases can help you find relief and prevent prolonging uncomfortable and debilitating symptoms.
The Consultation
When you visit Optimum Wellness Centres for a consultation, you will be met with friendly staff to check and make sure that all of your required information is on file. We will then have a no-obligation conversation about why you seek treatment and what you want to get out of it.
Whiplash and other vehicle accident-related injuries are assessed by one of our Chiropractors or Physiotherapist. They will ask you about the details of your accident and examine your pain source to gain the best understanding of your injury.
Assessment & Treatment Plan
Whiplash associated disorders (WAD) are common occurrences as a result of a vehicle accident. WAD is often used interchangeably with whiplash, although whiplash technically refers to the injury itself rather than sustained symptoms.
When you visit us because of pain related to an accident, we work quickly and efficiently to determine your pain source. Once we have, we will discuss our prognosis with you and begin developing a treatment plan.
Treatment Options & Plans
If you have suffered an accident, it is our primary focus to get you feeling well again. Your treatment plan will vary depending on your accident and the severity of your injuries.
Our highly experienced and compassionate staff will work with you to develop a plan that works best for you and your lifestyle. They may recommend a variety of therapies, including chiropractic, physiotherapy, laser therapy, massage, and many other services at Optimum Wellness Centres.
FAQs
Will I Be Able to Recover Fully From My Injuries?
It depends on the accident and the injuries you sustained. Most patients recover from muscle strains and tears, especially with the added benefit of physical therapy.
How Often Will I Need Therapy?
Your treatment plan may involve several different types of therapy, but your therapist or doctor will discuss it with you during your consultation. The frequency required will depend on your injuries and treatment plan.
Do I Need a Doctor’s Referral?
We want our services to be accessible to all, so you do not need a doctor’s referral to access treatment.
Should I Get Mental Therapy As Well?
If you find you are having a hard time accepting your situation or dealing with the outcome of your accident, we have psychological support services that can help you adjust.
What Service Do I Need?
You can book either chiropractic or physiotherapy services for your WCB or motor vehicle accident injury depending on what you may need done. If you are not sure which service you need, we would be happy to assess you and make a recommendation based on our findings.

Testimonials
I was referred by a friend to Jency Henry Physiotherapist at Macleod trail Optimum for my back pain. She is amazing, she knows what she is doing. She was explaining during the assessment and treatment session about what are my issues and what needs to be treated or taken care. I was very satisfied about her approach in treating my pain. I came to understand about my body better like my weakness and tightness. I feel very light as if most of my weight has been off from my back after my session.

Just have to thank Dr. Nina!!! The chiropractic care I receive is outstanding and with such precision and creativity! I have an autoimmune condition called Scleroderma which causes extreme mis-alignment and muscle/joint pain. After an adjustment I feel amazing and helps me to cope with the symtoms so I don’t have to take pharmaceuticals that often. Also, I notice my low blood pressure is back to normal since I have been seeing Dr. Nina. I am so relieved I can start up my adjustments again. I have referred my nieces, my sister, and my friend and they all are of the same opinion!! Dr. Nina is my Chiropractor for life!!!

I highly recommend Nicole, I had my first massage with her today and it was very relaxing and took a lot of the stress out of my body from the last few months. I felt very comfortable with Nicole, she is easy going, respectful and professional. It was just the perfect combination of touch and light conversation at the right time. I will most definitely be going back to Nicole in the future.

Made the mistake of going to another provider based on them open on Saturday, what a mistake. Minimal relieve and care. I returned to Dr. Jamie Mulholland in Airdrie and what a difference. Hips line up, pain on standing gone, not hunched over due to lower and upper back pain, headaches relieve in the first visit back to Dr. Jamie. Won’t venture away again.

Realiza of Sunridge location is highly recommended for her massage skills. She takes time to understand client’s concern and offers an effective approach to address them.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jackie Fairbourn for over 8 years and I highly recommend her as an amazingly gifted healing facilitator. She continues to impress me with her openness to adding gentle healing approaches to her extensive chiropractic skill set. Lately I have particularly enjoyed the tension-relieving benefits resulting from receiving Body Code, Emotional Code and now, Network Care. I appreciate her calm, informed and intuitive healing support.
