Workplace Injury

Workplace Injury

A workplace injury can prevent you from earning wages and impacts your safety on the job. We can support a safe return to work and minimize the disruptive impact of an injury. If you are in law enforcement, civil service, or a Tricare/VA beneficiary, we can help in your reassignment to active duty.

We are also proud to partner with Heywood Occupational Health as their preferred provider of surgical services in the care of injured workers in our community.

Worker Injury Management

A workplace injury impacts the worker and interferes with business operations. We provide the right orthopedic and recovery care for patients and minimize the amount of time that an employee is out of work. Communication between our office, the patient, and the referring company is paramount, and we recognize it as a critical component of the care process.

We focus on injuries to the musculoskeletal system, and are allied with outstanding physical therapy, occupational therapy and other specialty providers for continuity of care.

Additional services in Workplace Injury and Disability include:

  • Independent Medical Exam (IME)
  • Expert witness
  • Disability Evaluation

Workplace Environment Review
