I have a WSIB Claim. Am I entitled to treatment?
Work-related injuries range from repetitive strain injuries to muscles and tendons to fractures and mild traumatic brain injuries due to falling or tripping. It also includes lower back pain due to prolonged sitting in the wrong posture, also known as the neck/upper back/upper limb injuries (NUBUL). These injuries can result while sitting, standing, lifting and handling. Although work-related injuries vary significantly in severity and involved area, one common complaint is pain and disability caused by pain and injury.
