What Is ICBC Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional therapeutic practice that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to relieve pain, calm inflammation, and improve circulation. After a car accident, the body often experiences muscle tension, joint strain, nerve irritation, and heightened stress responses. Acupuncture helps regulate these systems, promoting recovery and reducing both physical and emotional strain.
ICBC pre-approves a set number of acupuncture sessions for all individuals injured in a motor vehicle accident, meaning you can begin treatment immediately with no referral required.
At Motion Pro Health, your treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms—whether you’re dealing with whiplash, headaches, back pain, or trauma after the accident.
ICBC Recovery Network Member
Motion Pro Health is a proud member of the ICBC Recovery Network, a group of regulated health professionals who provide evidence-based care following car accidents. As part of the network, we direct bill ICBC for your approved sessions and help coordinate care with chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and kinesiology when needed.
Our goal is to make the recovery process seamless and stress-free so you can focus on healing—not paperwork.
How Acupuncture Helps After a Car Accident
A collision can create sudden strain on muscles, ligaments, nerves, and joints. Acupuncture helps restore balance and reduce the pain and tension associated with these injuries.
Many patients experience:
- Meaningful relief from whiplash, neck strain, and back pain
- Reduced inflammation and muscle tightness from impact
- Improved circulation and tissue healing
- Reduced stress, anxiety, and emotional tension after the accident
- Better sleep and overall relaxation
- Support for headaches, nerve pain, and movement limitations
Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system, improving blood flow, and calming inflammation—making it an ideal treatment to support recovery during the acute and long-term phases after a motor vehicle accident.
What to Expect During Your ICBC Acupuncture Appointment
Your acupuncturist will begin with a detailed assessment of your symptoms, accident details, and any movement limitations you may be experiencing. Treatment is gentle, calming, and uses ultra-thin sterile needles placed with precision and care.
Sessions often include additional supportive therapies such as acupressure, cupping, gentle heat therapy, or relaxation techniques depending on your needs. Most patients feel relief immediately or over the first few sessions.
Your practitioner will also help coordinate your ICBC care plan and ensure you receive the treatments you’re entitled to throughout your recovery period.
