What to Expect at Your First Visit
We’ll ask how and when the injury happened, what your job involves, and which tasks are hardest right now. Your chiropractor will examine the injured area, check movement and strength, and document the findings your claim needs. Treatment usually starts the same day, and we’ll talk about safe ways to stay active and, when it’s appropriate, return to work.
Work Injury FAQ
Can I choose my own chiropractor for an L&I claim?
In most Washington L&I cases, injured workers can choose their own provider. If you’re unsure about your claim, call us before your visit and we’ll help you figure out the next step.
What should I bring?
Your L&I claim number if you have one, your employer’s name and address, the date of injury, and a list of any medications. If you’ve seen another provider for this injury, bring those records or let us know who it was.
What if my injury happened a while ago?
It’s still worth getting checked. Older injuries can respond well to care, and we’ll explain how your claim status affects billing.
