Workers Compensation Legislation
In 2020, Oklahoma passed a bill allowing chiropractic treatment to be included in workers compensation for injured employees. This new legislation adds Doctor of Chiropractic professionals to the list of options businesses can consider when referring injured workers to treatment.
This is great news, because businesses that use chiropractors help injured workers get out of pain and back to work faster with lower costs.
