Workplace Injury (WCB)
A workplace injury can disrupt your life. These injuries can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement that make it difficult to do your job. When you’ve been injured at work, it’s important to report that to your employer and to seek treatment. Proper treatment can support your healing process, prevent the same issue from returning, and get you back to work.
At Optimize Physiotherapy, we assess your injury thoroughly and create a clear plan for your recovery process. We’ll help you restore your mobility, reduce pain, and return to work safely and with confidence.
what to expect for WCB Treatment
Step One: Report Your Injury
You must first notify your employer and fill out the necessary WCB forms. Once completed, you must get an assessment of your injury from a medical doctor.
The doctor will submit the results to WCB. The doctor will then recommend that you attend physiotherapy or chiropractic care. They will likely require you to follow up in 2-3 weeks.
Step Two: Assessment at Optimize
Our physiotherapists or chiropractor begin with a comprehensive assessment of your injury to establish a treatment plan for rehabilitation. Our team will fill out the necessary form and correspond with WCB directly on your behalf. WCB will cover your initial assessment and treatment, but the claim will have to be approved before further treatments will be authorized.
Step Three: Treatment and Recovery
Each of your appointment builds on the last to support your progress. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you recover with strength.
Get started with treatment
Recovering from your workplace injury may take time, but the right care helps. With a detailed plan and consistent treatment with physiotherapy or chiropractic care, we’ll get you back to work safely, giving you the tools you need to prevent your injury from recurring.
