Workers’ Compensation

Understanding the potential devastating effect a work injury can have on one's professional and personal life, we want to minimize the economic impact, physical suffering and emotional strain of work related injuries. We offer timely and comprehensive evaluations, promptly initiate treatment modalities, and utilize surgery when indicated. With an emphasis on accessibility and communication, we work with the injured worker and his/her case manager to form a strong partnership when addressing all the needs of an injured worker. These needs often include return to work criteria and restrictions, risk assessment, and physical capability evaluations. By tailoring individualized treatment to the needs of the worker, our goal is to relieve discomfort, improve function, and return the injured employee to work as appropriate.
