Recovering from a car accident? You may be entitled to benefits under Ontario’s motor vehicle accident (MVA) program, also known as accident benefits – which is coverage included in every auto insurance policy. Regardless of who caused the accident, accident benefits can help you cover a variety of medical expenses related to your recovery. The program covers a range of medical and rehabilitation expenses including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage, and acupuncture.
Following a Motor Vehicle accident, contact your insurance company to file a claim for accident benefits. Your adjuster will help guide you through the process, explain your coverage details, and send you a package of forms. These forms must be completed before funding of treatment can begin. It is important for you to complete and submit the OCF-1, found in the package, to your adjuster prior to starting treatment. We recommend that you complete the entire package as quickly as possible to expedite your claim review and get the treatment you needed promptly.

What are some of the severe injuries we see following a motor vehicle accident?
We see a multitude of head and neck injuries (concussions, whiplash, traumatic brain injury), low back injuries, complex fractures and more. When a motor vehicle accident happens the results may not be apparent right away, our therapists work with you on a consistent basis to get to know you, your body and fully understand the injuries that have occurred. We understand that the injuries that have occurred may also be mental and emotional. Our therapists are compassionate and empathetic and realise that we are treating the whole person and not just an injury.
At PhysioDNA we are able to work with all the automobile insurance companies to create a treatment plan that is personalised to your needs and your injuries. We have strong relationships with the insurance company ensuring that your case is handled in a timely and effective manner.
Back discomfort, dislocations, fractures, sprains, whiplash, soft tissue injury, and joint injuries can all be treated with motor vehicle accident rehabilitation to regain function and mobility.
Overall, the length of time it takes to recover from an automobile accident depends on how serious the injuries are. More serious injuries can take months or even years to recover, while minor ones could just take a few weeks. This does not include the time taken for any trauma caused mentally.
Although, if motor vehicle accident rehabilitation is involved, your recovery time can be decreased by a lot.
Physiotherapists work with you to design a customized plan that addresses the areas most impacted by your injury with motor vehicle accident rehabilitation. They can help you restore strength and confidence in your movements by relieving pain and stiffness. This holistic approach significantly improves the way you feel on a daily basis.
No. Motor vehicle accident rehabilitation does not require you to have a referral to get treated.
The suggested number of sessions per week for motor vehicle accident rehabilitation can vary from one to three. Many patients also continue to see their therapists long after their recovery is done in order to sustain their progress and advance further.
