Workplace injuries don’t always arrive with a dramatic accident. Sometimes it’s a single bad lift; other times it’s months of repetitive strain that finally catches up with you. Either way, if it happened at work in Alberta, you have options — and WCB coverage usually means treatment costs you nothing.
First: report it
The most important step after a work injury is to report it — to your employer and to WCB Alberta. Reporting promptly protects your claim and starts the clock on your benefits. Your employer completes their part, you complete a worker report, and WCB opens a claim. Once that claim number exists, approved treatment is covered.
What chiropractic rehab covers for work injuries
Many work injuries — strained backs, necks, shoulders, repetitive strain, slip-and-fall trauma — respond well to conservative, hands-on care. At our North Edmonton clinic, a work injury rehabilitation plan typically combines:
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore joint movement and reduce pain
- Massage therapy from our Registered Massage Therapists to release injured soft tissue
- Targeted rehab exercises to rebuild strength and prevent re-injury
- Progress documentation WCB needs to keep your claim moving
The paperwork is on us
WCB claims live and die by documentation. Dr. Fayad assesses your injury, builds a treatment plan, and provides the progress reports WCB Alberta requires — so your claim keeps moving and you’re not stuck filling out forms between appointments.
Getting back to work — safely
The goal isn’t just to get you out of pain; it’s to get you back to your job without re-injuring yourself. That means a realistic return-to-work plan, coordination around modified duties where needed, and prevention guidance so the same injury doesn’t come back. Rushing back too early is one of the most common reasons work injuries turn chronic.
