Chiropractic, The Workplace Safety And Insurance Board, and The Treatment Of Work Related Injuries

If you have been injured on the job and your employer is registered with the WORKPLACE SAFETY AND INSURANCE BOARD ( WSIB ), you are entitled to CHIROPRACTIC BENEFITS  for the treatment of your injuries.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW…..

You are entitled to a 8 WEEKS of care.

You may be entitled to an extension depending upon the extent of your injury or injuries.

It is important to file a report of your injury immediately with your company nurse or human resources rep.

You do not need a medical referral for chiropractic care if you have been injured on the job.

Chiropractors are primary health care providers and YOU CAN REFER YOURSELF.

If you consulted with your family medical doctor or a walk-in clinic doctor first, and you then decide to go for chiropractic treatments or this doctor recommends chiropractic treatments, YOU WILL NEED A REFERRAL NOTE FROM THAT DOCTOR FOR CHIROPRACTIC CARE.

We have filed numerous claims with the WSIB over the years on behalf of our patients.

Our staff are extremely competent at processing your claims properly and in a timely fashion.
