Medical advisory guidelines

As a health care provider for WCB-Alberta, we understand how vital it is for you to need the most current medical information and research available on specific work-related injuries.

We have developed a detailed easy-to-read list of medical advisory guidelines to help you make the best possible treatment decisions.

Objectivity plays a critical role in this area. With that in mind, all research and background papers have been prepared either independently or by the University of Alberta Occupational Medicine Department.

The guidelines are meant to be a roadmap. Through them, a number of conditions, like carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), are examined in detail.

The guidelines contain:

• current research
• diagnosis and treatment recommendations
• fitness to work criteria and
• the criteria required to designate the injury as a permanent clinical impairment
