Acupuncture for whiplash

The most common injury in a car accident — and one acupuncture excels at. We treat whiplash directly, and bill ICBC for you.

Understanding it

Whiplash is a cervical sprain caused by the head snapping back and forth — most often in a minor or moderate car accident, but also in sports or falls. Symptoms can appear hours or days later.

It strains the soft tissue, joints and nerves of the neck at once. Early, focused treatment makes a real difference — and as an ICBC provider, we handle the billing directly.

What we see

Symptoms we treat

If any of these sound like your experience, acupuncture is worth a conversation. This isn't a diagnosis — your first visit is.

01
Neck pain & stiffness
Tightness and limited movement, often worse the next morning.
02
Headaches
Tension headaches radiating from the base of the skull.
03
Shoulder & upper-back pain
The strain spreads into the traps and shoulders.
04
Dizziness
A foggy, off-balance feeling after the impact.
05
Reduced rotation
Hard to shoulder-check or turn the head fully.
06
Delayed onset
Symptoms that surface days after the accident.
How it helps

Why acupuncture works here

Three layers at once — local, segmental, and central — chosen for what your body is asking for.

Releases the source
Needling releases the guarded, spasming neck muscles and brings circulation to the sprained soft tissue to speed recovery.
Calms the nerve
Segmental treatment calms the heightened pain response that follows a whiplash injury, easing both neck pain and headaches.
Restores movement
We progress you back to full, confident movement and coordinate ICBC-covered RMT and active rehab.
What to expect

From first visit to plan

Every patient gets the same unhurried four-beat rhythm — the first visit includes a complimentary consultation.

01
Consultation
We listen, palpate, and map the pattern — not just where it hurts, but why.
02
Treatment plan
A course of care that fits your pattern. You're never locked in; we re-assess each visit.
03
Treatment
Gentle needling, often with cupping or electro-acupuncture. Most patients deeply relax.
04
Aftercare
Simple homecare and what to expect next. We coordinate with RMT or kinesiology when it helps.
