Who Is Eligible for WCB Injury Treatment?

If you’ve been hurt while performing your job duties in Saskatchewan, you may be eligible for injury coverage through WCB Saskatchewan. This includes full- or part-time employees, seasonal workers, and some contractors. You don’t need a referral to start treatment. Once your claim is active and approved, you can choose your preferred provider.

Common workplace incidents that qualify include:

• Lifting injuries

• Slips or falls on the job

• Repetitive strain from tools, typing, or manual labour

• Overexertion or awkward posture

• Equipment or machinery-related injuries

Our clinic works with approved WCB claims and will communicate directly with your case manager to ensure your treatment aligns with their guidelines and your recovery goals.

The WCB Injury Recovery Process

Navigating the WCB system can feel overwhelming—but we’re here to help. Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Report the injury to your employer as soon as it happens

2. File a WCB claim online or by phone through WCB Saskatchewan

3. Once your claim is approved, receive a claim number

4. Book an assessment with our clinic using your WCB claim number

5. We create a personalized care plan and submit it to WCB for review

6. Ongoing treatment and communication with WCB for continued coverage

We’ll handle all billing directly with WCB, so you won’t need to pay out of pocket for approved services.

What Types of Injuries Can We Help With?

At Axis Health Center, we treat a wide range of work-related injuries, including:

• Back and neck pain from lifting or prolonged sitting

• Shoulder, elbow, or wrist injuries (e.g., tendonitis, carpal tunnel)

• Hip, knee, or ankle strain from slips or falls

• Whiplash or concussion symptoms

• Post-surgical recovery for orthopedic repairs

• Chronic pain from repetitive strain or overuse

• Stress-related tension, headaches, or muscle tightness

Even if your injury seems minor at first, early intervention can prevent complications and help speed your return to full function.

WCB-Approved Treatments We Offer

Our clinic provides integrated rehabilitation services under one roof. Depending on your injury and goals, your treatment plan may include a combination of the following:

Physiotherapy for Work Injuries

Physiotherapists help restore movement, reduce inflammation, and rebuild strength after workplace injuries. We use manual therapy, exercise, stretching, and education to help patients heal and prevent re-injury.

For example, if you’ve injured your shoulder or back lifting heavy objects at work, physiotherapy helps relieve pain while strengthening the surrounding muscles for long-term support.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are trained to assess joint mechanics, spinal alignment, and postural strain caused by repetitive movements or trauma. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pain and stiffness, improve mobility, and restore proper movement patterns after a workplace injury.

Exercise Therapy & Return-to-Work Conditioning

For many patients, recovery includes active rehab exercises tailored to your job duties. We help you gradually build strength, balance, and coordination so you feel confident returning to work. Whether you sit at a desk, operate heavy machinery, or work in construction, we’ll design a program that prepares your body to meet those demands again safely.

Here’s why patients choose us for WCB injury rehab:

We treat every patient as a person and our goal is to help you get back to work and life as quickly and safely as possible.

Direct Billing to WCB Saskatchewan

Once your claim is active, Axis Health Center will bill WCB directly for all approved treatments. You’ll never need to pay out of pocket for authorized care, and we’ll take care of the documentation, updates, and progress reports required by your case manager.

If your injury requires imaging, specialist referral, or other medical care, we’ll work closely with your WCB adjuster to ensure everything is coordinated efficiently.

When Should You Seek Care After a Work Injury?

Many people delay treatment after a workplace incident, hoping symptoms will resolve on their own. However, early intervention leads to faster recovery and reduces the chance of chronic pain or complications.

We recommend booking an assessment within a few days of your injury. If your WCB claim is still pending, we can schedule an initial evaluation while the paperwork is processed.
