What we see after a collision
- Whiplash and neck strain
- Back pain and muscle guarding
- Headaches that started after the crash
- Shoulder and seatbelt bruising injuries
- Stiffness that showed up days later
- Anxiety behind the wheel since the accident
How care works in one clinic
Whiplash can bring guarded muscles, broken sleep and worry about driving. Tell the physician about every symptom, including changes in sleep or mood.
At Solis, the physician assesses and documents the injury. Massage therapy may help with soft tissue pain and guarding. The clinic can tell you when another type of provider may be a better fit.
What to do in the first days after a crash
Getting assessed early matters twice over. Clinically, early graded treatment is the evidence-backed path and the biggest risk after a collision is under-treatment, where 'just soreness' hardens into chronic pain. Administratively, Alberta's diagnostic and treatment protocols give you access to pre-approved care when you are assessed by a health professional soon after the accident, and that window is short.
Report the accident to police where required, contact your insurer, and get assessed. Do not wait to feel bad enough. Adrenaline masks injury and neck symptoms very often appear a day or two later.
- Report the collision and note the date
- Call your insurer and get a claim number
- Get assessed promptly, even if you feel fine
- Write down every symptom, including sleep and mood
- Ask which providers your policy approves
- Keep copies of every form and treatment plan
Insurance, claim numbers and billing
Alberta auto insurance may cover defined treatment after a collision through your own policy, regardless of who caused the crash. To get that started the clinic usually needs three things from you: the name of the insurance company, the adjuster's name and contact details, and your claim number plus the date of the accident.
Confirm the required forms, the approved provider types, the billing process and your coverage with your insurer before treatment starts. Ask the clinic directly whether it can bill your MVA claim or whether you pay and submit. Rules change, so verify rather than assume.
When to go to emergency instead
Rehab is not the right first stop for everything. Call 911 or go to emergency for chest pain, trouble breathing, loss of consciousness, confusion, severe or worsening headache, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe pain after a major impact.
Book rehab once you have been cleared of anything urgent, or when symptoms are clearly musculoskeletal and have been building since the crash.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for muscles to heal after a car accident?
Mild soft tissue strains often settle over a few weeks. Whiplash-type neck injuries commonly take longer and improve in stages rather than in a straight line. Recovery time depends on the injury, your health beforehand and how early treatment started.
How soon should I start treatment after a collision?
As soon as urgent injuries have been ruled out. Early assessment gives you the best recovery odds and Alberta's pre-approved treatment protocols are tied to being assessed promptly after the accident. Confirm the current timelines with your insurer.
Do I need a doctor's referral for MVA massage therapy?
Many insurers require an assessment or referral before they will fund massage under an accident claim. At Solis a physician can assess and document your injuries in the same clinic, which keeps that step simple. Confirm your insurer's requirement before booking.
The accident was weeks ago. Is it too late to get treatment?
No. Later starts are common and still treatable, and many claims still cover care. Some coverage windows are time-limited, so call your insurer and get assessed rather than waiting longer.
What if I feel fine but shaken?
Get assessed anyway. Adrenaline can mask an injury, and neck symptoms may appear a day or two later. Tell the physician if the crash has affected sleep, mood or driving so they can discuss outside support.
