Suffered a Workplace Injury?
We Can Help
When you suffer a work-related injury, you not only have to work through your rehabilitation, but you have to worry about navigating your worker’s compensation claim, too. Fortunately, Elements Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation’s multidisciplinary team is here to help you with both processes!
Because so many common workplace injuries affect the musculoskeletal system, physiotherapy and chiropractic care both play a crucial role in helping you recover and get back to work. Worker’s compensation insurance covers any necessary medical treatment at a minimal cost to you, so there’s no reason to skip it.
The sooner you meet with one of our North Oshawa or Ajax, ON physios after an injury, the better outcomes you’ll have. Request an appointment today to get started!
Common Workplace Injuries We Can Address
Any injury you sustain on the job is a workplace injury. That said, certain types of injuries are more common in the workplace than others. There are two ways you can injure yourself at work:
- Acute Injuries: These injuries happen due to a sudden accident or other trauma, such as a slip and fall. Concussions, bone fractures, and severe soft tissue injuries (like sprains or strains) all fall into this category.
- Overuse Injuries: These injuries develop gradually over time due to repetitive movements or awkward posture. If left unaddressed, they can cause pain and mobility restriction and put you at a higher risk of an acute injury.
It’s important to remember that workplace injuries don’t just happen in construction work or other types of manual labor. People who work in retail or similar positions (such as hairstylists or baristas) are at a particularly high risk for overuse injuries.
