What To Do After a Car Accident
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be both physically and emotionally traumatic. At Glenwood Sport & Spine we specialize in whiplash and concussion treatment. Our team focuses on personalized chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, and acupuncture to help you recover quickly and safely - whether you're dealing with whiplash, back pain, or muscle trauma.
Common Injuries
Even low-speed collisions can result in serious soft tissue and spinal injuries. Symptoms may not appear right away, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Some of the most common injuries we treat include:
- Whiplash and neck sprains
- Lower back injuries
- Muscle stiffness and joint dysfunction
- Concussions and/or headaches from head trauma
Why Choose Us After an Accident?
Expert Multidisciplinary Care in West Edmonton
We provide a coordinated approach to recovery that single-provider offices can't match. By integrating Chiropractic expertise with specialized Massage Therapy and Physiotherapy protocols, we address whiplash and soft tissue injuries from every angle. Having your entire recovery team under one roof in Glenwood means your practitioners are actually talking to each other about your progress.
Seamless Insurance Coordination
Navigating the Alberta diagnostic and treatment protocols can be more stressful than the accident itself. We specialize in the administrative side of MVA claims. We offer direct billing to insurance providers and ensure all your AB-1 and AB-2 forms are handled accurately and submitted on time. Our goal is to let you focus on healing while we manage the paperwork.
Advanced Diagnostic & Treatment Technology
We don't just treat symptoms; we identify the root cause of your post-accident pain. From Orthotics to address gait changes after an impact to Shockwave Therapy for soft tissue tension, we utilize modern clinical tools to accelerate your return to normal activities. Whether you commute from Jasper Place or are a resident of Terra Losa, you have access to elite-level rehab technology right here on 100 Ave.
Personalized Recovery Timelines
Every accident is different, which is why we don't use "cookie-cutter" treatment plans. Your journey starts with a comprehensive assessment to determine if you fall within the "Procotol" or "Outside Protocol" limits. From there, we build a schedule that fits your life, helping you return to work and hobbies safely without the risk of re-injury.
Our Approach
We tailor every treatment plan to your specific condition, injury type, and level of discomfort.
Chiropractic
Our Chiropractor focuses on the neurological and structural impact of collisions. He uses spinal adjustments to restore alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and address whiplash at its source. This approach is essential for preventing scar tissue and restoring your natural range of motion.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists address the soft tissue trauma associated with car accidents. Our therapists use myofascial release to reduce muscle guarding, improve circulation, and alleviate the intense tension caused by impact. This provides immediate relief while supporting your overall recovery.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at our clinic emphasizes functional rehabilitation and active recovery. Our team specializes in complex injuries and develop personalized exercise programs to rebuild strength and stability. We focus on getting you back to your work and daily hobbies safely and efficiently..
Acupuncture
Acupuncture provides a specialized way to regulate the nervous system and manage pain after a traumatic event. By targeting specific points, we help decrease inflammation and calm the body's stress response. It is a highly effective option for treating the neuropathic pain often linked to whiplash.
