Worker’s Compensation & Personal Injury Chiropractic in Steinbach
When Work Takes a Toll on Your Body
Workplace injuries can happen in countless ways—a single heavy lift that strains your back, repetitive motions on an assembly line that gradually wear down your body, or an unexpected fall that leaves you unable to move normally. Whatever the mechanism of your injury, the result is the same: you’re in pain, you’re limited in what you can do, and you need expert care to recover fully.
Dr. Trevor approaches workplace injuries with the same comprehensive care philosophy he brings to all his patients. Your initial consultation is tailored specifically to understanding the mechanics of your work injury—how it happened, what movements aggravate it, and how it’s affecting your ability to function both at work and at home. He’ll conduct a thorough examination, take any necessary imaging, and create a structured treatment plan designed to get you back to work safely and as quickly as possible.
In fact, at 18, Dr. Trevor experienced a workplace injury firsthand while working a summer job as a roofer—and when rest and Tylenol didn’t help, his dad urged him to see a chiropractor. Instead of chalking it up to a simple muscle strain, the chiropractor identified an issue with how his spine was functioning, and that visit changed everything. After receiving chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Trevor was able to get back to work within two weeks. That early experience sparked Dr. Trevor’s desire to become a chiropractor shaped his drive to support others dealing with work-related injuries.
Understanding the Workers Compensation Process
Navigating Workers Compensation Board coverage in Manitoba requires following specific steps, and we’re here to guide you through the process. First, you’ll need to alert your employer about your injury—this is important because your employer has legal responsibilities to report workplace injuries to the Workers Compensation Board. We’ll begin your treatment right away because early intervention leads to better outcomes.
It typically takes about two weeks for the Workers Compensation Board to approve coverage for your chiropractic care. During this waiting period, you’ll need to pay for your visits out of pocket. However, once your coverage is approved, we’ll reimburse you for all the services you received during that interim period. Our team understands this process well and can answer your questions about coverage, documentation requirements, and what to expect at each stage. We want to remove as much stress as possible from an already difficult situation, so you can focus your energy on healing and recovery.
Getting You Back to Work Safely
Dr. Trevor’s goal isn’t just to relieve your pain—it’s to restore your function and help you return to work with the strength and stability you need to stay healthy. Your treatment plan will include not only adjustments and manual therapy but also rehabilitative exercises that build the strength and flexibility required for your specific job demands. He’ll provide guidance on proper body mechanics and movements that can help prevent re-injury when you return to work. This comprehensive approach ensures that you don’t just feel better temporarily—you develop the tools and knowledge to maintain your recovery long-term.
