Helping You Recover with Care and Expertise

At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we understand how a motor vehicle accident can turn your life upside down in an instant. The physical and emotional toll can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate your recovery alone. Our MVA Rehabilitation services in Alberta are designed to help you regain your strength, mobility, and confidence after an accident—so you can get back to living your life.

With our core belief that active care is the key to long-term health, we focus on comprehensive, personalized rehabilitation that addresses not only your immediate injuries but also helps prevent future complications. At ActiveCare, we guide you through your recovery, every step of the way.

Why MVA Rehabilitation is Crucial?

Even if your injuries seem minor at first, the effects of a motor vehicle accident can linger and worsen over time. Whiplash, back pain, soft tissue injuries, concussions, and even emotional stress are common after accidents. Without proper care, these issues can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and a longer road to recovery. Our MVA Rehabilitation services are designed to speed up your recovery process, relieve pain, and prevent long-term damage.

In Alberta, the Diagnostic Treatment Protocols (DTP) provide coverage and guidelines for treating accident-related injuries. This means that if you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you’re entitled to treatment that helps you heal and return to your daily activities as soon as possible. At ActiveCare, we are well-versed in these protocols and offer direct billing services to make your recovery as seamless as possible.

Our Approach to MVA Rehabilitation:

  1. Thorough Initial Assessment: Every recovery journey starts with a detailed assessment. We take the time to understand the nature of your injuries, your pain points, and how the accident has affected your daily life. This initial evaluation helps us create a tailored treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals. Our team also collaborates closely with your insurance provider to ensure that your treatment is covered and optimized under Alberta’s MVA treatment guidelines.
  2. Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Care: At ActiveCare, we believe in the power of an integrated approach to recovery. Our team of experts—including physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and naturopaths—work together to address all aspects of your recovery. Whether you’re dealing with neck pain, back pain, headaches, or other soft tissue injuries, we combine various therapies to provide well-rounded, effective care.
    • Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises to restore strength, mobility, and flexibility after an accident.
    • Chiropractic Care: Spinal adjustments to realign your body, relieve pain, and support natural healing.
    • Massage Therapy: Helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and accelerate soft tissue recovery.
    • Naturopathic Medicine: Holistic care options to support your body’s healing process, including pain management and stress relief.
  3. Whiplash & Soft Tissue Injury Treatment: One of the most common injuries after a motor vehicle accident is whiplash, which can cause pain and stiffness in your neck and shoulders. Our team uses a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and other techniques to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and restore your strength. Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, and muscle tears, are also common. We use therapies like manual physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, and dry needling to promote healing and alleviate pain.
  4. Concussion Management: If you’ve suffered a concussion or head injury during the accident, our specialists offer targeted care to address your symptoms. Concussions can affect your cognitive and physical health, leading to headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Our rehabilitation plan includes therapies aimed at reducing these symptoms and restoring your overall health.
  5. Psychological Support: We understand that the emotional trauma of a motor vehicle accident can be just as debilitating as physical injuries. Our holistic approach ensures that both your physical and mental health are supported during your recovery. We provide resources and referrals if necessary to help you cope with stress, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can develop after an accident.
  6. Active Recovery and Prevention: At ActiveCare, we emphasize active rehabilitation, empowering you to take charge of your health. Our team will guide you through a personalized exercise program that you can continue at home. This helps you recover faster and build the strength and flexibility needed to avoid future injuries.
  7. Seamless Direct Billing Process: Navigating insurance claims can be stressful, especially when you’re dealing with an injury. To make things easier for you, we handle the direct billing with your insurance provider. Our team works within the Alberta MVA insurance system, ensuring that your treatments are covered under the Diagnostic Treatment Protocols. You can focus on getting better while we take care of the paperwork.
