If you have experienced an injury in the workplace, we understand how difficult it can be to find comfort again. At Optimum Wellness Centres, we are committed to helping you work through an injury and getting you back to feeling normal.
After experiencing an injury in your workplace, we recommend getting assessed as soon as possible. The sooner you can begin treatment, the more your chances are maximized of making a full recovery.
The type of therapy you’ll need depends on the injury itself. You can book an appointment with one of our Chiropractors or Physiotherapists at any time without a referral.
The Workers’ Compensation Board helps Albertans get the services and treatments they need to return to work. If you need additional support, visit their website to file a claim or to get more information.
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is an excellent resource for Ontarians to get the help they need after a workplace injury. Please visit their website for more information on how you can get the assistance you need.
It depends on the accident and the injuries you sustained. Most patients recover from muscle strains and tears, especially with the added benefit of physical therapy.
Your treatment plan may involve several different types of therapy, but your therapist or doctor will discuss it with you during your consultation. The frequency required will depend on your injuries and treatment plan.
We want our services to be accessible to all, so you do not need a doctor’s referral to access treatment, even for work-related or vehicular injuries.
If you find you are having a hard time accepting your situation or dealing with the outcome of your accident, we have psychological support services that can help you adjust.
You can book either chiropracty or physiotherapy for your WCB or motor vehicle accident injury depending on what you may need done. If you are not sure which service you need, we would be happy to assess you and make a recommendation based on our findings.
If you have questions on how we work with WCB or WSIB, please give us a call to assist you.
I was referred by a friend to Jency Henry Physiotherapist at Macleod trail Optimum for my back pain. She is amazing, she knows what she is doing. She was explaining during the assessment and treatment session about what are my issues and what needs to be treated or taken care. I was very satisfied about her approach in treating my pain. I came to understand about my body better like my weakness and tightness. I feel very light as if most of my weight has been off from my back after my session.
Just have to thank Dr. Nina!!! The chiropractic care I receive is outstanding and with such precision and creativity! I have an autoimmune condition called Scleroderma which causes extreme mis-alignment and muscle/joint pain. After an adjustment I feel amazing and helps me to cope with the symtoms so I don’t have to take pharmaceuticals that often. Also, I notice my low blood pressure is back to normal since I have been seeing Dr. Nina. I am so relieved I can start up my adjustments again. I have referred my nieces, my sister, and my friend and they all are of the same opinion!! Dr. Nina is my Chiropractor for life!!!
I highly recommend Nicole, I had my first massage with her today and it was very relaxing and took a lot of the stress out of my body from the last few months. I felt very comfortable with Nicole, she is easy going, respectful and professional. It was just the perfect combination of touch and light conversation at the right time. I will most definitely be going back to Nicole in the future.
Made the mistake of going to another provider based on them open on Saturday, what a mistake. Minimal relieve and care. I returned to Dr. Jamie Mulholland in Airdrie and what a difference. Hips line up, pain on standing gone, not hunched over due to lower and upper back pain, headaches relieve in the first visit back to Dr. Jamie. Won’t venture away again.
Realiza of Sunridge location is highly recommended for her massage skills. She takes time to understand client’s concern and offers an effective approach to address them.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jackie Fairbourn for over 8 years and I highly recommend her as an amazingly gifted healing facilitator. She continues to impress me with her openness to adding gentle healing approaches to her extensive chiropractic skill set. Lately I have particularly enjoyed the tension-relieving benefits resulting from receiving Body Code, Emotional Code and now, Network Care. I appreciate her calm, informed and intuitive healing support.
