Worker's Compensation Doctor Q & A

What is a worker’s compensation doctor?

A worker’s compensation doctor specializes in treating job-related injuries while also fulfilling the documentation and reporting requirements of worker’s compensation claims.

At Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Acupuncture, Dr. Ferguson evaluates your condition, provides personalized treatment, and works directly with insurance carriers and employers to ensure your care is coordinated and compliant with program guidelines. His role is to help you heal while protecting your health, safety, and rights throughout the recovery process.

What types of workplace injuries are treated?

Sprains, strains, and soft-tissue injuries
Shoulder, knee, or joint pain from physical labor
Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries
Headaches or whiplash after workplace accidents
Slip, trip, and fall injuries

Even injuries that appear minor can worsen without treatment, leading to chronic pain or long-term disability. Early intervention is critical to recovery, maintaining work capacity, and ensuring you can return to your job safely and confidently.

How does Dr. Ferguson support injured workers?

Dr. Ferguson’s integrative approach combines chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, physical therapy exercises, and advanced modalities such as interferential current, ultrasound, and low-level laser therapy. These treatments reduce inflammation, restore alignment, and promote healing.
