Find Out How A Chiropractor Can Help You Recover From Work-Related Injuries
The Basics
Work-related injuries like back pain, carpal tunnel, slips and falls, and strains can disrupt your mobility and daily tasks. Chiropractic care helps reduce pain, restore function, and speed up recovery for a quicker return to work. We handle all necessary forms, including WSIB claims, FAFs for workplace restrictions, and Form 8 alongside treatment extensions if needed. Our personalized approach ensures you get the care you need without the stress of paperwork.
Program of Care
Thorough Assessment: We take the time to understand your injury, medical history, and the specific demands of your job to create a personalized treatment plan.
Physical Therapy: We utilize many evidence-based manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue work, mobilizations, manipulations and acupuncture.
Rehabilitation and Strengthening Exercises: We incorporate therapeutic exercises to help you regain strength, flexibility, and function.
Coordination with Your WSIB Claim: We work closely with your WSIB adjuster and healthcare team to ensure your treatment is aligned with your claims process, providing necessary documentation and updates.
The Breakdown:
These are some of the forms that WSIB may require; out staff can help you through the process.
Health Professional’s Report (Form 8)
This is the document first used by healthcare practitioners to report a patient's work-related injury or illness to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Includes detail about the nature of the injury, its potential connection to the workplace, and the patient's treatment plan.
Functional Abilities Form (FAF)
A document that helps employers and health professionals plan a safe return to work for an injured or ill employee. The FAF is used to identify an employee's limitations and work-related responsibilities.
Worker's report of injury/disease (Form 6)
The Worker’s Report of Injury/Disease form is used to report a work-related injury or illness to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). It requires the injured worker to provide details about the incident and their medical needs in order to claim compensation benefits. This document serves as formal notification to both your employer and the WSIB about the workplace injury.
