What Is an ICBC Chiropractor and How Can They Help?
An ICBC chiropractor works directly with your ICBC claim to treat injuries from a motor vehicle accident, including whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and soft tissue injuries. At Head 2 Toe Holistic Health Clinic in Castlegar, our chiropractors bill ICBC directly and do not require a doctor's referral to get started. Simply contact us with your ICBC claim number and we will guide you through the rest.
Still Hurting After a Car Accident?
Car accidents put sudden, uneven force through the neck, back, and joints, and the pain does not always show up right away. Whiplash, stiffness, headaches, and lower back pain often build over the days following a collision, long after you have left the scene. Left unaddressed, these injuries can turn into chronic pain that lingers for months and keeps you from work, sleep, and the activities you enjoy.
Care Built Around Your Injuries, Not a Generic Protocol
As your ICBC chiropractor, Dr. Sandy Battista or Dr. Marco De Ciantis, both graduates of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, will assess the spine, pelvis, and surrounding soft tissue to find exactly where the collision has caused damage. Using Diversified Chiropractic Technique, Myofascial Release Therapy, and Graston Technique, they build a treatment plan around your specific injuries and document your progress at every visit, which supports your claim if you need extended treatment later on.

How ICBC Coverage Works for Chiropractic Care
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you are automatically pre-approved by ICBC for up to 25 chiropractic treatments in the first 12 weeks following an accident.
Chiropractic treatment is recognized by ICBC as part of an approved recovery plan and you don't need a doctor's referral to access it, only your ICBC claim number. Treatment during this period is billed directly to ICBC. After the initial 12-week period, continued coverage may be available if appropriate.
Our chiropractors are experienced in treating motor vehicle accident injuries such as whiplash, concussions, dizziness, neck pain, back pain, nerve pain, injuries to the extremities, and soft tissue injuries. We can work directly with your ICBC claim to support your recovery, so contact us and we will help guide you through the process.
