Workplace injuries are a reality across Hamilton’s manufacturing, trades, and industrial workforce — and for many workers, physiotherapy is a key part of getting back to full health and back on the job. Here’s what to know about WSIB-covered physiotherapy at Paramount Family Chiropractic.

Reporting Your Workplace Injury

If you’ve been injured at work, the first step is reporting it to your employer and starting a WSIB claim as soon as possible. Prompt reporting and early treatment tend to support both your recovery and your claim.

How WSIB Physiotherapy Coverage Works

Once your claim is approved, WSIB can cover physiotherapy treatment related to your workplace injury. Our clinic direct bills WSIB directly, so you’re not left paying out of pocket and waiting for reimbursement while you’re already dealing with an injury and possibly reduced income.

What Treatment Looks Like

Your physiotherapist will assess your injury and build a plan focused not just on reducing pain, but on restoring the strength and function you need to safely return to your specific job duties — whether that’s physical labour, repetitive tasks, or prolonged standing or lifting.

Working Toward a Safe Return to Work

Part of WSIB physiotherapy is planning your return-to-work timeline realistically, with graduated milestones rather than an all-or-nothing return. Your physiotherapist can also communicate with your employer or WSIB case manager as needed to support modified duties during recovery.
