Work Injury Physiotherapy Edmonton

Work Injury Physiotherapy Edmonton

Recovering from a work-related injury can feel like an uphill battle. However, at Milestone Physio & Wellness Clinic, we believe in turning these challenging milestones into stepping stones toward your journey to health, strength, and wellness.

Our clinic offers a comprehensive work injury physiotherapy program tailored to the needs of each patient. We understand that every injury is unique, and so are the individuals suffering from it. That’s why we take a personalized approach to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and get back to your best self.

What is Work Injury Physiotherapy?

Work Injury Physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy that focuses on treating injuries that occur in the workplace. These injuries can vary widely, from repetitive strain injuries to fractures and sprains. Our skilled physiotherapists are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a range of work-related conditions to help you recover quickly and safely.

Symptoms That Indicate the Need for Work Injury Physiotherapy

If you’re experiencing the following symptoms due to a work-related incident, you should consider seeking work injury physiotherapy:

  • Pain or Discomfort: If you experience pain or discomfort while performing your duties, this can be a sign of a work-related injury. This could include muscle pain, joint pain, or chronic headaches. 
  • Reduced Mobility : Difficulty moving or reduced range of motion can also be a sign of a work-related injury. This could manifest as stiffness or difficulty moving certain body parts.
  • Weakness : A decrease in strength, such as having trouble lifting items you could easily handle before, can indicate an injury. 
  • Swelling or Inflammation : If you notice any swelling or inflammation in a specific area, it may be due to a work-related injury. 
  • Numbness or Tingling : This can be a symptom of nerve damage or other serious conditions.
Navigating Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) Claims

At Milestone Physio & Wellness Clinic, we understand that work-related injuries involve more than just physical recovery. It also includes navigating the complexities of workers’ compensation claims. We can assist in managing your Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) claims, liaising with case managers and providing necessary documentation and progress reports.

 

Our physiotherapists are knowledgeable about the WCB process and can guide you through each step, ensuring your rights are upheld and the necessary paperwork is completed accurately and promptly. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on what’s truly important – your recovery.

 

Remember, early intervention is key in work-related injuries. It can lead to better, faster outcomes and prevent the injury from becoming chronic. Therefore, don’t delay your physiotherapy treatment if you’ve been injured at work. Your recovery, health, and wellness are our priorities. Contact us at Milestone Physio & Wellness Clinic to discuss how we can assist you with your work injury recovery and WCB claim process.

Major Causes of Work-Related Injuries

Work-related injuries can occur in any field or profession. Some common causes include:

  • Repetitive Strain: This is caused by performing the same actions repeatedly over a long period. Common examples include typing (leading to carpal tunnel syndrome) and lifting heavy objects (leading to back problems).
  • Poor Ergonomics: Incorrect posture or a poorly set-up workspace can cause a range of issues, from back and neck pain to repetitive strain injuries.
  • Slips, Trips, and Falls: These can cause a wide range of injuries, including sprains, strains, and fractures.
  • Overexertion: This can result from pushing, pulling, or lifting heavy objects and can cause sprains, strains, or more serious injuries.
  • Accidents or Trauma: Accidents such as falling objects or machinery accidents can lead to a variety of serious injuries.

It’s important to note that not all work-related injuries are physical. High-stress jobs can also lead to psychological issues like stress, anxiety, or depression. In these cases, physiotherapy can be a beneficial part of an overall treatment plan, as it not only helps alleviate physical symptoms but also contributes to overall well-being.
