Faster Recovery
Why delay reclaiming your quality of life when acupuncture can treat physical, psychological and autonomic nervous disorders easily and quickly. To highlight just one example, acupuncture is exceedingly effective at treating soft tissue injuries, which are commonly caused during MVAs. Such injuries — often invisible even with the use of scans and x-rays – can be extremely painful and debilitating. Left untreated, or treated only with pain killers, soft tissue injuries can take months or years to recover from. Learn more about symptoms and injuries we can treat.
PTSD Drug-Free Treatment
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a massive mental trauma, and can be triggered by an MVA. Common post-MVA PTSD symptoms include intrusive memories and flashbacks, being easily startled or scared, and panic attacks. Acupuncture provides rapid relief to patients without causing unwanted flareups, and promotes general well-being. Increasingly, acupuncture is being turned to for rapid, drug-free treatment of PTSD.

ICBC Q&A
No. The first 12 treatments do not require the approval of the ICBC nor doctors’ referrals. You only need to bring your ICBC Claim number. If you need more than 12 treatments, you can request ICBC to extend your treatment.
No additional cost will be billed to the patients covered under ICBC.
You will receive a combination of acupuncture, cupping or stone massage. If constipation starts or worsens after the accident, the prognosis is not good. In this case, several days of herbal medicine may be prescribed. There may be extra costs for herbal medicines for more than 3 days
