WorkSafeNB Chiropractic Care in Fredericton
Workplace injuries are one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether you have been hurt in a single incident — a fall, a lift gone wrong, or a sudden impact — or you are dealing with pain that has built up gradually over months of repetitive work, chiropractic treatment can help you recover and get back to your job.
At Fredericton Family Chiropractic, Dr. Brayall treats patients with active WorkSafeNB claims and works within the program’s guidelines to support your recovery.
Common Workplace Injuries We Treat
Many of the conditions that bring workers through our door respond well to chiropractic care, including:
- Low back pain from lifting, bending, or prolonged sitting
- Neck and shoulder strain from desk work or overhead tasks
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) affecting the wrists, elbows, or shoulders
- Sciatica triggered by physical labour or prolonged driving
- Mid back and rib pain from manual handling
- Headaches related to postural strain or workplace stress
If your injury involves the spine, joints, or soft tissues, there is a good chance chiropractic care can help.
How WorkSafeNB Coverage Works for Chiropractic
WorkSafeNB covers chiropractic treatment for accepted workplace injury claims. Here is what you need to know:
You will need an active WorkSafeNB claim before beginning treatment. Your claim is typically initiated through your employer and a healthcare provider who documents the injury. Once your claim is accepted, WorkSafeNB covers the cost of chiropractic visits as part of your treatment plan — you do not pay out of pocket for approved care.
Dr. Brayall submits documentation directly to WorkSafeNB, so the billing process is handled for you.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment will include a thorough assessment of your injury, work duties, and symptoms. Dr. Brayall will review your WorkSafeNB claim details and develop a treatment plan tailored to your recovery goals — whether that means getting back to full duties, modified duties, or managing pain while you heal.
Treatment typically includes a combination of hands-on adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques (Activator and Arthrostim), and rehabilitation exercises you can do at home or at work. Learn more about our approach on the Chiropractic Care page.
Returning to Work After a Workplace Injury
Recovery from a workplace injury is not just about reducing pain — it is about restoring function so you can safely return to your job. Dr. Brayall focuses on practical outcomes: improving your mobility, rebuilding strength, and addressing the root cause of your injury so it does not come back.
If your workplace setup contributed to the injury, we can also discuss ergonomic adjustments and strategies to reduce your risk going forward.
