It shouldn’t hurt to work!
If you have been hurt at work and are entitled to WCB in Edmonton or St. Albert, the the following will apply to you:
Your assessment and first treatment on that date are covered by WCB. Beyond this, you may qualify for up to 21 visits in 6 weeks if your claim is accepted. It is important to report your injury as soon as possible, complete the necessary WCB forms and see a physician for referral to our clinic.
