Worker's Compensation Q & A in Tacoma WA

What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation is an employer-funded program that covers medical expenses incurred after getting injured at work.

When receiving medical care for a work-related injury, the Active Chiropractic - Tacoma team fills out the necessary paperwork needed for you to avoid paying medical expenses. They have years of experience treating workers’ compensation patients and can help address your individual needs.

What are common work-related injuries?

Common workplace injuries include:

• Neck and back injuries
• Shoulder, hip, and knee injuries
• Strains and sprains
• Fractures
• Muscle, tendon, or ligament damage
• Lacerations, burns, and other soft tissue injuries
• Herniated or ruptured discs
• Pinched nerves
• Repetitive strains
• Overuse injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Sciatica

You might also get injured in an auto accident, lifting something heavy, having a physically demanding job, getting crushed by a heavy object, or working with chemicals.

Symptoms of a workplace injury include pain, swelling, stiffness, and bruising. You may have limited mobility, decreased range of motion, warmth, redness, and weakness as well. Your injury could be mild and heal on its own, or severe and need medical intervention.

Which type of workplace injury do I have?

To determine which type of injury you have and the best way to help it heal, the Active Chiropractic - Tacoma team reviews your accident history, medical history, medications, symptoms, and lifestyle. They check your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs.

Your specialist also completes a comprehensive physical exam to look for visible signs of injuries. They may order blood tests, urine tests, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or other imaging procedures to make a final diagnosis.

Which care options for workers’ compensation are available?

Your chiropractor may suggest you try one or more of the following care practices commonly used for workers’ compensation patients:

• Bracing, splinting, or casting
• Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE therapy)
• Injections
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Therapeutic massage therapy
• Physical therapy
• Therapeutic ultrasound

They tailor injury care based on your personalized needs to help you recover quickly and get the pain relief needed to get back to work. Your specialist fills out the required paperwork, so you don’t have to pay any medical expenses.
