Have you had an accident at work? Our team of professionals has extensive expertise in treating the pain and disability that occurs after this type of accident in order to support you towards a complete and lasting recovery.
Start your rehabilitation treatments by following these 4 steps
- Notify your employer or immediate supervisor about the accident
- Seek prompt medical attention, even if the injury appears minor. Your healthcare professional will provide you with a medical certificate that will be used to justify your absence from work, if necessary, and to open your file with the CNESST (the provincial commission for standards, equity, health and safety at work). Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend physiotherapy, occupational therapy and/or acupuncture treatments.
- Complete the CNESST worker's claim.
- Contact us at 1 855 743-9872 to schedule your first appointment.
Did you know that you can begin your treatments even if you have not yet received your file number? We will simply ask you to provide us with a copy of the worker's claim that you have completed.
