What is Workers Compensation Care?
Workers compensation care refers to the treatment and rehabilitation services provided to employees who have been injured on the job. In many cases, these injuries occur due to accidents, overexertion, or repetitive tasks that strain the muscles and joints. Workers compensation ensures that injured employees receive the care they need without bearing the financial burden of treatment.
Our clinic offers a range of WCB-approved treatments, including:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Realigning the spine and joints to relieve pain and restore function.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Treating muscle injuries, strains, and other soft tissue damage.
Rehabilitation Exercises: Strengthening muscles and improving mobility to support long-term recovery.
Pain Management: Providing non-invasive treatments to reduce pain and improve daily function.
By working closely with the Workers’ Compensation Board, we ensure that your treatment is covered, your progress is monitored, and that you have the support you need to make a full recovery.
The Workers Compensation Process
At our clinic, we follow a structured process to ensure that your workers compensation care is effective and personalized to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: Your care begins with a comprehensive assessment of your injury. Our healthcare provider will conduct a physical exam, review your medical history, and discuss how the injury occurred. In some cases, diagnostic imaging may be used to get a clearer picture of the damage.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan: Based on the findings of the consultation, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the specific nature of your injury. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises to support your recovery.
WCB Coordination: We handle all the paperwork and communication with the Workers’ Compensation Board to ensure that your treatment is covered and that you receive the benefits you’re entitled to. We’ll also provide regular updates to the WCB on your progress.
Follow-Up Care: Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our goal is to ensure that you recover fully and can return to work without pain or limitations.
Common Workplace Injuries Treated Through Workers Compensation
Our clinic is equipped to treat a wide range of injuries that commonly occur in the workplace. Some of the most frequent injuries we treat under workers compensation include:
Back and Neck Injuries: These often result from lifting heavy objects, poor posture, or repetitive movements.
Repetitive Strain Injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis can develop from performing the same motions repeatedly.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains, sprains, and other soft tissue injuries can occur due to overexertion or accidents.
Joint Injuries: Knee, shoulder, and hip injuries are common in physically demanding jobs, particularly those involving heavy lifting or awkward movements.
Workplace Accidents: Slips, falls, or machinery accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries that require specialized care.
Safety and Effectiveness of Workers Compensation Care
Workers compensation treatment is safe, effective, and designed to ensure that employees recover fully from their injuries. Our team of healthcare providers is experienced in working with WCB guidelines and providing care that meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
Chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, and soft tissue therapy are all non-invasive treatments that allow injured workers to heal naturally, without the need for surgery or long-term medication. These treatments are widely recognized for their effectiveness in promoting recovery, improving mobility, and reducing pain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) in Canada serves to provide a system of compensation for employees who suffer from a workplace injury or related health issues. The primary goal is to ensure that injured workers receive the necessary benefits and support to recover and return to work. Each provincial WCB is responsible for managing compensation claims, offering services and information about work-related injuries, and ensuring that employers comply with workplace safety regulations.
- To file a workers compensation claim, you should first report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. This is crucial for documenting the incident. Next, you need to complete a claim form, which can usually be found on your provincial WCB's website. Make sure to provide all necessary details about the injury, including the date, time, and nature of the work activity involved. After submitting your claim, the WCB will review it and inform you of your eligibility for benefits and the next steps.
- In Alberta, a WCB claim can be directly initiated by a chiropractor without the patient having to first do all of the above steps.
The Workers' Compensation Board offers various benefits to support injured workers. These may include wage-loss benefits, which compensate for lost income during recovery; medical and rehabilitation benefits, which cover treatment costs; and vocational rehabilitation services to assist in returning to work. Additionally, there are services available for psychological support and long-term disability benefits for those who may not return to work for an extended period.
