Injured on the job? Dr. Johnston is Workers' Compensation certified and handles WC billing directly — no out-of-pocket cost in most cases.
Dr. Johnston is certified and experienced in treating workplace injuries through the Colorado Workers' Compensation system — helping injured workers receive the chiropractic care they're entitled to while navigating the documentation and billing requirements of WC claims.
Workers' Compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured on the job. In Colorado, injured workers have the right to chiropractic care as part of their workers' comp benefits — and chiropractors must meet specific documentation and billing requirements to participate in the WC system.
Dr. Johnston's Workers' Compensation certification means he understands these requirements inside and out — ensuring your care is properly authorized, documented, and billed so there are no gaps in your coverage.
Lifting injuries, repetitive bending, and prolonged sitting are leading causes of workplace low back injuries that respond well to chiropractic care.
Computer work, overhead tasks, and awkward postures cause cervical and thoracic strain — among the most common WC claims.
Repetitive overhead work and lifting injuries to the shoulder and rotator cuff are effectively treated with chiropractic and soft tissue therapy.
Falls at work can cause spinal injury, joint sprains, and soft tissue damage throughout the body — all within the scope of chiropractic care.
Carpal tunnel, tendinitis, and other overuse conditions caused by repetitive work tasks are addressed with chiropractic and soft tissue techniques.
Vehicle accidents during work — delivery drivers, construction vehicles, company cars — produce the same injuries as personal auto accidents and are covered by WC.
Notify your employer immediately after a workplace injury. You'll receive a WC claim number that authorizes medical care.
In Colorado, you have the right to choose a chiropractor for your WC care. Contact us and we'll verify your authorization with the insurer.
We conduct a thorough evaluation, document your injuries, and begin a treatment plan — billing the WC insurer directly. No out-of-pocket cost to you.
Our goal is to get you back to full function as quickly as possible. We provide return-to-work documentation and functional capacity assessments as needed.
In Colorado, injured workers can typically self-refer to a chiropractor for workers' comp care. However, specific authorization requirements can vary by employer and insurer. We help you navigate this process from the first call.
Your employer will know you are receiving workers' comp medical care, but your specific treatment details are protected medical information.
If your claim is denied, you still have options. We can help connect you with a workers' compensation attorney who can advocate for your rights. We also work with personal injury attorneys who handle WC disputes.
Changes in authorized WC providers require approval from the insurer or employer. Contact us and we can help you understand your options for changing providers if you are not satisfied with your current care.
