Workers’ Compensation Chiropractor in Astoria, Oregon
Workplace injuries can affect every part of your life — from your ability to perform your job to enjoying everyday activities. At Sisu Coastal Wellness in Astoria, Oregon, Dr. Jordan Probasco and Dr. Devyn Champagne provide expert chiropractic care for workers’ compensation injuries, helping you recover fully and return to work safely.
Common Workplace Injuries We Treat
Whether you work in a physically demanding industry or spend long hours at a desk, workplace injuries can happen to anyone. Our team regularly treats repetitive strain injuries, back injuries from lifting and bending, slip and fall injuries, neck and shoulder pain from poor ergonomics, carpal tunnel syndrome, construction and industrial injuries, and injuries sustained during commercial fishing, logging, and other North Coast occupations.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Workers’ Comp Injuries
Chiropractic care is a proven, effective treatment for many workplace injuries. Rather than relying solely on pain medication, our approach targets the underlying cause of your pain and dysfunction. Treatment may include spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment, manual therapy and soft tissue techniques to reduce inflammation, therapeutic exercises designed to rebuild strength and prevent re-injury, and ergonomic guidance to help you avoid future workplace injuries.
Oregon Workers’ Compensation and Chiropractic Care
Under Oregon workers’ compensation law, injured workers have the right to choose their own attending physician — including a Doctor of Chiropractic. At Sisu Coastal Wellness, we are experienced in working within the Oregon workers’ compensation system. We can serve as your attending physician for your workers’ comp claim, provide all necessary documentation and reports for your claim, coordinate with your employer and insurance carrier, and refer for additional diagnostic testing or specialist consultation when needed. You do not need your employer’s permission to choose a chiropractor as your attending physician. This is your right under Oregon law.
What to Do After a Workplace Injury
If you’ve been injured at work, it’s important to act quickly. Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, seek medical attention promptly, and file a workers’ compensation claim (Form 801) with your employer. You can then choose Sisu Coastal Wellness as your attending physician. Early treatment leads to faster recovery and better outcomes.

We proudly serve workers throughout the North Oregon Coast and Southwest Washington, including Astoria, Warrenton, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Long Beach, and surrounding communities. Our office is conveniently located at 818 Commercial St, Suite 200, in the Spexarth Building in downtown Astoria.
