WSIB Treatment Centre Oakville. If you work long enough you’re bound to experience a work injury on the job. In Ontario, this is where WSIB comes in. Most companies and professions are covered through WSIB to receive Oakville chiropractic care and other services for a work injury. Dr. Steve and Dr. Jenn’s biggest pet peeve is how long it takes patients to get treatment when they are hurt at work. How you go about your claim is very specific. Below is how you should go about filing a work injury claim with WSIB in Oakville.
Tell your employer and fill out appropriate WSIB forms. Your employer should fill out FORM 7 and submit it to WSIB within 5 days of the reported injury. FORM 8 will be filled out by a medical practitioner (Chiropractor, PT, Medical Doctor). The party who experienced the work injury should be completing FORM 6 either at work or upon initial visit at a medical clinic. If you come to our Oakville WSIB clinic for treatment, we will help you with all forms needed for WSIB.
