You Don’t Need Anyone’s Permission to Get Evaluated
Oregon workers’ compensation law doesn’t require a referral to see a chiropractor for a work-related injury. No primary care visit first, no sign-off from another provider. Neck, back, and joint injuries account for most on-the-job claims, and they’re what this practice treats.
The Claim Is Our Job,Not Yours
We complete the claims forms, manage the documentation, and carry the case from intake through release from care. On an accepted claim, there is no out-of-pocket expense to you.
If you need time off or a restriction on your work activity, we document what the evaluation found and communicate it to your employer directly.
An Untreated Injury Doesn’t Wait for You to Finish the Shift
Strain and joint restriction compound when you keep working through them. A subacute injury that would have resolved becomes a chronic one, and the documentation trail your claim depends on gets thinner the longer you wait.
We evaluate the injury and how your job duties are feeding it — detail by detail, before it becomes a bigger problem.
Work injury care is one part of our chiropractic services. When a lifting injury involves a disc, spinal decompression therapy may be part of the plan, and physical rehabilitation rebuilds strength before you return to full duty.
What Happens at Your First Visit
We ask what happened, when symptoms started, and what makes them better or worse. Then we examine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for a workers’ comp claim in Oregon?
No — Oregon workers’ compensation law does not require a referral to see a chiropractor for a work-related injury. Call us at (541) 343-3477 directly after your injury and get scheduled for an evaluation. There’s no need to go through a primary care doctor or get sign-off from another provider first. We work within the workers’ comp claims process from that first call, including the paperwork your claim requires. If your employer or claims adjuster has specific requirements for your case, bring that information to your first visit.
Will I have any out-of-pocket cost for a workers’ comp chiropractic visit?
No. Chiropractic care for an accepted workers’ compensation claim in Oregon is covered with no out-of-pocket expense to you. We bill your workers’ comp claim directly and manage the claims forms tied to your case, so you don’t front costs and seek reimbursement later. Coverage specifics can vary depending on how your employer’s claim is processed, so bring your claim information to your first visit.
Can Aspen communicate with my employer about work restrictions?
Yes — we can communicate directly with your employer about work restrictions tied to your injury, and we document whether you need time off or modified duties while you recover. This is a standard part of managing a workers’ compensation case, and your employer typically needs that documentation to adjust your schedule or responsibilities. Let us know at your first visit if your employer has a specific form or point of contact.
What kinds of work injuries does chiropractic care treat?
Neck, back, and joint pain from work injuries, which together account for most on-the-job claims. These come from a single incident — a fall, an awkward lift, a collision on the job site — or build up over time from repetitive strain in a physically demanding role. We evaluate the specific pattern behind your pain rather than treating every work injury the same way. If your symptoms fall outside this range, tell us at your evaluation and we’ll determine whether chiropractic care is the right fit.
Why get treated soon after a work injury instead of waiting?
Untreated strain and joint restriction compound over time, especially if you’re still performing physical job duties while hurt. Waiting to see whether the pain resolves risks turning a manageable injury into a more debilitating one, and it delays the documentation that supports your claim. Our evaluation looks at the injury itself and at how your work activity may be aggravating it, so the plan accounts for what you’re still doing on the job.
