Neck Pain & Whiplash Relief in Kelowna: Chiropractic That Works
Neck pain can make even simple activities — like sleeping, driving, or working at your desk — uncomfortable or impossible. At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic in Kelowna, we help patients relieve pain, restore movement, and prevent it from coming back. Whether it’s due to posture, stress, or injury, our goal is to help you feel your best again — naturally.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Many people don’t realize how connected their neck is to the rest of the body until pain sets in. Common causes include:
- Poor posture from computer work or phone use
- Muscle tension and stress
- Joint misalignment in the cervical spine
- Whiplash or motor vehicle accidents
- Nerve irritation leading to pain into the shoulders or arms
We start with a thorough chiropractic examination, including posture and gait analysis, to pinpoint the root cause and tailor a treatment plan just for you.
Whiplash and ICBC Coverage
One of the most common neck conditions we treat is whiplash — often caused by motor vehicle accidents.
The good news? ICBC automatically covers chiropractic care for anyone injured in a crash.
Under ICBC’s Enhanced Care Plan, each individual is pre-approved for up to 25 chiropractic sessions in the first 12 weeks after the accident — no doctor referral or qualification required.
That means:
✅ No waiting for approval
✅ No out-of-pocket cost for covered treatments
✅ Easy access to care — just call our office and provide your ICBC claim number
If you’ve been in a recent car accident, contact us right away so we can help you start your recovery. The sooner you begin care, the faster your body can heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is chiropractic care covered by ICBC?
Yes! ICBC automatically covers chiropractic treatment for anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident. You’re pre-approved for up to 25 visits in the first 12 weeks after the accident — no referral or pre-authorization required.
2. How long does whiplash recovery take?
Every case is different, but most patients begin noticing improvement within a few visits. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the injury and consistency of care. Early treatment leads to faster results.

Common symptoms of whiplash include neck stiffness, headaches, shoulder or upper-back pain, dizziness, and fatigue. Even mild symptoms should be evaluated early to prevent long-term issues.
