Workman’s Compensation Chiropractic

workers compensation

Workers’ compensation chiropractic is a type of chiropractic care that is covered by workers’ compensation insurance. This means that employees who are injured on the job can receive chiropractic care without having to pay out of pocket.

Chiropractic care can be very effective for treating a variety of work-related injuries, such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. Chiropractic adjustments can help to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and speed up the healing process.

To receive workers’ compensation chiropractic care, an employee must first see a doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. If the doctor recommends chiropractic care, the employee will need to get a referral from their doctor. The employee can then go to a chiropractor who is authorized to treat workers’ compensation patients.

The chiropractor will work with the employee to develop a treatment plan that is specific to their needs. The treatment plan may include spinal manipulation/mobilization, Diversified Techniques, Sacro-Occipital Technique, and other modalities, such as exercise therapy, physical therapy, and massage therapy.

The chiropractor will bill the workers’ compensation insurance company for the services they provide. The insurance company will then reimburse the chiropractor for the cost of the services.

Employees who are receiving workers’ compensation chiropractic care should be aware that they may have to go through a pre-authorization process before they can start treatment. This means that the employee will need to get approval from the workers’ compensation insurance company before they can see a chiropractor.

Employees who are considering workers’ compensation chiropractic care should talk to their doctor to see if it is right for them.

Here are some of the benefits of workers’ compensation chiropractic:

  • It is covered by workers’ compensation insurance. This means that employees do not have to pay out of pocket for chiropractic care.
