Chiropractic care is fully covered for individuals injured in a motor vehicle collision. Persons injured in a motor vehicle accident should consult a chiropractor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment of the neck, back, headaches, extremities, or jaw symptoms can lead to quicker recovery.

Inform the MPI service representative that you are seeing a chiropractor for care.
Workers Compensation Board (WCB)
