Motor Vehicle Accident Physiotherapy in Edmonton

Yes. You have the right to choose your physiotherapist and clinic after a car accident. Your insurance company may recommend a preferred clinic, but you are not required to follow that recommendation. The choice remains yours. Treatment coverage and billing are subject to the applicable insurance requirements.

You can book a physiotherapy assessment directly. A doctor’s referral is generally not required to see a physiotherapist, although some benefit plans may request one for reimbursement. If you have symptoms suggesting a more serious injury, seek medical care first.

Eligible accident-related treatment may be covered by auto insurance. Direct billing depends on your injury, the applicable treatment pathway, and claim requirements. For some claims, extended health benefits are used first. We explain the billing process and any expected patient costs before treatment.

Arrange an assessment as soon as practical after a collision, and notify your insurer promptly. Seek urgent medical care first for severe or worsening symptoms. Do not wait for pain to become severe before asking about an assessment.

Pain and stiffness can develop after the day of the accident. Tell your insurer about new symptoms and arrange an assessment. Seek emergency care for a worsening severe headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, new weakness, or difficulty staying awake after a head injury.

Bring your accident date, insurer name, claim number, adjuster contact details, and any relevant medical reports. We can explain the forms and prepare relevant clinical documents, including the treatment plan when required.
