Among the primary purposes of
Wisconsin workers' compensation are helping to make up for income lost due to a work-related injury, and helping to rehabilitate a worker such that the worker can return to the workplace. If you have a pain disorder which requires treatment, by all means seek appropriate treatment through workers' compensation. But if you are going to switch jobs, or do something else which might cause your employer to try to argue that you are rehabilitated or no longer need services due to the different nature of the new job, you may wish to consider consulting with a local workers' compensation lawyer about your situation.
