See What Our Patients Are Saying

I have been treated here by their chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, and physiotherapist, and each one has done an amazing job to help me recover from a motor vehicle accident. They are all super friendly and understanding and are willing to work with you as best as they can. Seen some great results so far. Highly recommend anyone at their clinic.

Brieanne M.

I’ve been going to Myo Lab for a number of years now now, for everything from simple fixes and tweaks needed from work and training; to rehab following a motor vehicle accident several months ago. The front desk workers have always been incredibly accommodating when trying to book or rebook appointments especially with all the craziness of today going on. And the treatment I have received from, the massage therapist, chiropractor and physiotherapist helps me to continue to do all I enjoy to do, pain free!

Scotty C.

I came to MYo Lab with a lower back / pelvis injury and chronic back muscle tightness from work. After only two weeks of seeing Shelly for chiro and physio work the pinching nerve had stopped giving me pain and muscle tightness is easing all the time. She uses multiple techniques that surpass most chiropractors work I have seen previously, Shelly also referred me for massages with Zack who was able to release more muscle tightness from postural issues and I will continue to see them both to maintain the new movement I have unlocked. I’m Super happy with MYo Lab and the friendly staff, I highly recommend you come here if you have had an injury or have chronic movement issues.

Nathan C.

I highly recommend physiotherapist Daniel Lawson at Myo Lab. He is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and personable. He gives excellent detailed instructions/ coaching on how to perform each exercise and is also very encouraging as to the best way to make progress. I have personally witnessed the pain and stiffness lessen considerably as the muscles become stronger. Clearly, he brings a wealth of experience to his practice!

Common MVA Injuries Treated at MYo Lab

 

Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) can leave you with lasting pain and mobility issues—but you don’t have to deal with them alone. At MYo Lab, we specialize in treating a wide range of MVA-related injuries to help you recover and get back to your daily life:

  • Whiplash & Neck Injuries: A common injury resulting from the sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the neck during an accident. Whiplash can cause significant damage and strain to the neck muscles, ligaments, joints, and discs. 
  • Concussions & headaches: Mild traumatic brain injuries that can result from the impact of an accident.
  • Soft Tissue Damage to the Spine: Strains or tears in the tendons, ligaments, and muscles along the spine that impact movement and overall function.
  • Back & Spinal Injuries: From muscle strains to disc issues, back pain after an accident can be debilitating.
  • Shoulder & Arm Injuries: Seatbelt restraints and impact forces can cause shoulder strains, rotator cuff injuries, and nerve pain.
  • Herniated Discs: Displacement of the intervertebral discs that can cause pain and discomfort.
  • Stretched or Torn Tendons, Ligaments, and Muscles: Injuries along the spine that affect mobility and function.
  • Torn Meniscus: Damage to the cartilage in the knee.
  • ACL, PCL, and MCL Ligament Tears: Injuries to the ligaments that stabilize the knee joint.
  • Sprains and Strains: Injuries to the ligaments and joints in the foot and ankle.
  • Nerve & Soft Tissue Damage: Tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness can be signs of nerve compression or soft tissue damage.

Steps to Take After a Motor Vehicle Accident

 

  1. Get Immediate Medical Attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Seek medical attention right away to assess and address any injuries, which should include your Chiropractor. If your injury is severe, be sure you get checked out at the hospital immediately following your accident if the ambulance doesn’t take you there first.
  2. Notify Your Insurance Provider: File an accident claim and a medical claim (these will be distinctly separate, so be sure to open both) with your insurance provider to initiate the process of receiving treatment and compensation.
  3. Consult with Your Insurance Adjuster: Your insurance adjuster will recommend treatment options based on your claim.
  4. Schedule an Appointment with Your Chiropractor or Physiotherapist: Book your appointment as soon as possible with our Chiropractic or Physiotherapy team so they can do a full motor vehicle-specific assessment and help you with the necessary paperwork you’ll need to complete to work through your medical claim. Book now to secure your spot.
  5. Get A Comprehensive Assessment: During your appointment, our rehabilitation specialist will conduct a thorough examination to determine the extent of your injuries from a Motor Vehicle Accident. Based on this assessment, we will develop a personalized care plan that includes the most effective therapeutic modalities for your condition.

You will receive ongoing treatment for a minimum of three months, with the possibility of extending the duration with approval from your insurance company if necessary.
