Compensable injuries
After being reviewed by your general practitioner, you can call for an appointment at any of our clinics for treatment of your compensable injury - all we need is a referral from you general practitioner. We will then liaise with your general practitioner, case manager or rehabilitation consultant to achieve the best outcome given your situation.
We encourage active rehabilitation for all clients, and follow the appropriate industry standards to achieve the best outcome. Our extended opening hours mean injured workers can attend for treatment at a suitable time for both themselves and their employer.
Northcare physiotherapists can also help in supplying braces to suit most conditions, for a more effective return to work.
Sports injuries
We provide physiotherapy treatment for sports injuries Monday to Saturday at our Salisbury clinic.
Early intervention, advice on returning to sport and an extensive stock of braces, supports and tape ensure effective and timely treatment.
A number of our physiotherapists have post graduate qualifications in sports and manipulative therapy, as well as considerable personal experience in many different sports.
Northcare physiotherapists have had involvement in local sporting clubs, State and State of Origin football teams, the South Australian Redbacks Cricket team and the South Australian Scorpions Women's Cricket team, as well as being selected as physiotherapists for the Sydney Olympics held in 2000.
