Auto Accident and Workplace Accident Care in Smithville

An injury doesn’t always show up immediately after an accident. Whether you’ve been in a car collision or hurt on the job, Smithville Chiropractic Clinic can evaluate musculoskeletal concerns and help you understand the next steps for care.

Getting Checked After an Auto Accident

Even a minor collision may affect muscles, ligaments or tendons without causing immediate symptoms. In some cases, symptoms may take time to appear. An examination can look for musculoskeletal concerns related to the collision, even when the accident seemed minor or you initially felt okay.

Emergency departments typically focus on identifying injuries that require immediate medical attention, such as fractures. A chiropractic examination has a different focus and may evaluate strains or other musculoskeletal concerns following a collision.

Depending on your coverage and claim status, accident benefits may help cover eligible care. Our team can assist with the paperwork involved and explain the clinic’s billing process, whether your vehicle sustained significant damage or the collision was relatively minor.

Care for Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can happen suddenly, such as a strain from lifting, or develop through repetitive movements over time. The clinic sees musculoskeletal concerns involving areas such as the elbow, knee and hip, along with strains, repetitive strain injuries and concussions sustained at work.

Depending on the accepted claim and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) requirements, eligible care may be covered. If your employer has not yet filed an injury report or you are unsure about the process, the team can help you understand what information may be needed.

Patients are typically seen by either the chiropractor or physiotherapist at their initial visit. Chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage therapy may then be considered based on the injury, individual needs and applicable coverage.
