Worksafe BC Treatment
What do I do if i’ve have a workplace injury?
The chiropractors at Mountain Health and Performance are here to help you if you’ve been injured in a workplace accident. The first thing you will need to do is report the accident to your employer and to WorkSafe BC to initiate the claim process. Once approved, you will be eligible for 8 weeks of treatment from the date of the claim submission. Once you have a claim number, an initial appointment can be setup with the practitioner of your choice.
During the initial appointment, your chiropractor will complete a thorough assessment of your injury, prognosis for your recovery and first treatment if time permits.
