Work Injury Care FAQs
What workplace injuries can a chiropractor assess?
A chiropractor can assess musculoskeletal symptoms such as back, neck, or joint pain after an incident at work. The right care depends on your symptoms and health history. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any relevant medical information, a list of medications, and details about how the injury happened. Notes on when symptoms began and which movements or tasks affect them can also help guide the discussion.
Do I need a referral before booking?
Referral requirements can depend on your circumstances and the care you need. Contact Bristol WorkCare to ask about booking. If your employer, insurer, or another healthcare provider has given you instructions, check those before arranging care.
Can I keep working while receiving care?
That depends on your injury, symptoms, and job duties. Discuss the physical demands of your work during an assessment. For decisions about work restrictions or time off, follow advice from an appropriate healthcare professional and your employer.
What happens during an initial visit?
An initial visit typically includes a conversation about your injury, symptoms, and health history, followed by an assessment where appropriate. The chiropractor can explain possible care options and discuss next steps based on what they find.
