  • YES! ICBC covers Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) for eligible motor vehicle accident injuries. Most patients have access to 12 pre-approved massage therapy sessions during the first 12 weeks after their accident without needing a physician referral or approval from ICBC.

    Massage therapy can help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, decrease pain, and support your overall recovery after a collision.

  • Yes. Acupuncture is covered through ICBC's Enhanced Care program for eligible injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Most patients are eligible for 12 pre-approved acupuncture treatments during the first 12 weeks following the accident.

    Acupuncture is commonly used to help manage pain, reduce muscle tightness, improve movement, and support recovery.

  • No. During the first 12 weeks after your accident, you do not need a referral from your family physician or nurse practitioner to begin chiropractic care, massage therapy, or acupuncture. Simply provide your ICBC claim number and PHN when booking your appointment.

  • The earlier you begin treatment, the better. Starting care soon after your accident allows your practitioner to assess your injuries, begin treatment promptly, and help prevent stiffness, pain, and movement restrictions from becoming more persistent.

  • If you continue to require treatment beyond your pre-approved sessions, your practitioner can submit clinical information to ICBC explaining why additional care is medically necessary. ICBC reviews ongoing treatment requests based on your recovery progress and functional goals.

  • Yes. Many patients benefit from a combination of therapies. Depending on your injuries, your treatment plan may include chiropractic care to restore joint function, massage therapy to reduce muscle tension, and acupuncture to help manage pain and promote recovery.

    Your practitioner will recommend the combination of treatments that best fits your individual condition and recovery goals.
