WSIB is partnering with health care providers in an exciting program called "The Program of Care for Acute Low Back Pain."  The program provides up to 12 weeks of structured, modern rehabilitation designed to get you better and to keep you better!

This program is good for you, your employer and the WSIB.  It provides first rate treatment for you, excellent communication/co-operation with your employer, and costs savings for WSIB and your employer.  

Dr. Nyman is a registered provider for this program in Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario.  The program is fully covered by the WSIB, so there's no cost to qualifying workers.  You do not have to see or have a family doctor to qualify for the program.  Simply call our office to set up an appointment.
