WSIB – Workplace Injuries

Steps to Follow After a Workplace Injury:

• Inform Your Employer: Immediately report the incident to your employer and initiate the required documentation both from your side and the employer’s side.
• Assess the Severity of the Injury: Consult a physician if you need medical advice, and visit a hospital if the injury is severe. You can also visit our physiotherapy clinic in Woodstock to begin the necessary documentation and treatment without needing prior consultation from a physician.
• At Livewell Physiotherapy & Rehab: As a leading WSIB physiotherapy clinic in Woodstock, we guide and support you in returning to work with possible modified duties or hours to aid in your recovery and prevent further complications. We offer comprehensive assessments of workplace injuries and create individualized treatment plans to address any physical, psychological, or emotional issues. Our experienced practitioners will evaluate your injury, provide treatments, educate you on proper body mechanics, and develop a personalized exercise program to help you return to work stronger and healthier than before.
• What You Need to Start with WSIB: Obtain approval for your claim number from WSIB. We are approved and registered under WSIB to provide physiotherapy services and to bill directly to WSIB. We collaborate with both the employer and WSIB to ensure all necessary paperwork is completed, and that all documentation is provided to facilitate a smooth transition back to work. Additionally, we offer follow-up care and support to help prevent future injuries and ensure a safe return to work.
