Medical Treatment
Whether or not you experience immediate pain or injury after an accident, you should get examined by a healthcare professional. You have several options, depending on the urgency and severity of your condition.
Life-threatening injuries or events
Call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency department immediately.
Non-emergency conditions
If you experience pain or discomfort after an accident, try to see your family doctor or visit a walk-in clinic promptly. Use the New Brunswick Medical Society’s walk-in clinic location map to find the nearest clinic.
Unsure of the severity of your injury or unable to get an appointment with your family doctor?
Call 8-1-1. With this 24/7 service, you can have a nurse practitioner assess your symptoms and let you know if you should go to your hospital’s emergency department.
Can’t go to a clinic?
The province offers free virtual care to individuals with a valid New Brunswick Medicare Card through eVisitNB.
Ongoing injury support
You may need various therapeutic services to help you rehabilitate or manage your injuries.
Massage therapists
The Association of New Brunswick Massage Therapists (ANBMT) provides a location map of massage practitioners in the province.
Occupational therapists
Your primary care physician may refer you for occupational therapy in a hospital. For those who choose to self-refer, the New Brunswick Association of Occupational Therapists (NBAOT) publishes a list of private occupational therapy practices within the province.
Physiotherapists
