How WSIB Treatment Works at Our Clinic
Report Your Injury
Report to your employer and file a WSIB claim (Form 6, Worker’s Report of Injury). Your employer is required to file a Form 7 within three days. Bring your claim number to your first appointment.
Comprehensive Assessment
Your physiotherapist or chiropractor completes a full musculoskeletal assessment and documents your injuries, functional limitations, and proposed treatment plan in the format required by WSIB.
