Workers Compensation

If you’ve been hurt on the job—whether you work in healthcare, construction, transportation, manufacturing, or retail—we are here to help you recover quickly and safely.
What Is Workers’ Compensation?
In the state of Minnesota, workers’ compensation is designed to cover medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured during the course of their work. Chiropractic treatment is often approved and fully covered, especially for common job-related conditions like back injuries, neck pain, and repetitive strain.
Under Minnesota law, you have the right to choose your own chiropractor. That means you can get care from a provider you trust. At Lopez Health Center, we proudly serve patients from Maple Grove, Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Osseo, and surrounding communities.
Common Work Injuries We Treat:
Lower back pain from lifting or falls

FAQ
How do I start a workers’ compensation claim for chiropractic treatment?
First, report your injury to your employer immediately. Then, contact our office to schedule your initial chiropractic evaluation. We’ll help with documentation, claim forms, and direct communication with your adjuster.
Will workers’ compensation cover my chiropractic treatments?
Yes. As long as the care is medically necessary for your recovery, workers’ comp typically covers your chiropractic visits, exams, and any prescribed therapies.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your workers’ comp claim number, employer’s contact info, and any reports from your doctor or workplace. If you’re missing something, we’ll help you gather what’s needed.
How long does it take to recover from a work-related injury with chiropractic care?
Each case is unique, but many patients experience noticeable relief within the first few weeks. Your treatment plan will depend on the type of injury and your physical demands at work.
Can chiropractic adjustments help repetitive stress or posture-related work injuries?
Yes. These injuries often stem from misalignments or muscle imbalances. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint function and help prevent recurring pain.
What if my employer recommends a different doctor or clinic?
You have the right to switch providers after your first visit. If you prefer chiropractic care at Lopez Health Center, you can legally make that change under Minnesota workers’ comp law.
How does your clinic support injured workers through recovery?
We take a complete approach—using adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehab exercises. Our office also manages all documentation, insurance communication, and progress reports for your case.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor for my workers’ comp injury?
No referral is required in Minnesota. You can contact our clinic directly and begin care while we coordinate details with your insurance or employer.
What if my claim is still pending—can I start treatment?
Yes. You can often begin care while your claim is being reviewed. We’ll track and document all visits so your records are ready once your claim is approved.
Will chiropractic care help me return to work faster?
Many patients find that consistent chiropractic care speeds recovery by reducing pain and improving function. Our goal is to help you return to work safely and confidently, not just quickly.
Can chiropractic care prevent future work injuries?
Definitely. Once you’ve healed, maintenance chiropractic care helps improve posture, flexibility, and spinal alignment—reducing the risk of re-injury on the job.
