Work Injury Treatment

WORK-RELATED INJURY

TREATMENT

Each year, over 4 million employees suffer work-related injuries or illness. Neck and back injuries account for 90% of these injuries. For over twenty years, we have been helping people hurt by accidents, falls, repetitive motions, poor posture, and the sedentary nature of office work.

If you’ve been injured at work, it’s important to know that you’re eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. After pinpointing the source of your pain, we’ll work with you to explore minimally invasive options––before considering medication or surgery. Then, through a carefully designed pain management program, we’ll have you back to work and your previous routine.

COMMON WORK INJURIES

SLIP & FALLS Slip and falls are the most commonly reported workplace accidents and a leading cause of injuries. A fall does not have to occur from a great height to cause great harm.

STRUCK-BY INJURIES Struck-by injuries are those in which a worker is struck and injured by a moving object. Any object that rolls, slides, swings, falls, etc., can cause this type of injury. Construction workers and factory employees are among the most vulnerable to struck-by injuries, but they can happen anywhere, in any workplace environment.

HIGHWAY WORK ZONE ACCIDENTS Florida ranks among the states with the most fatalities at road construction sites. A variety of injuries can occur in these hazardous zones.

REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES Repetitive motion injuries (aka repetitive stress injuries) are caused by repeating the same motion over and over. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common repetitive motion injury. Such injuries can be temporary or permanent, and affect your muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. Typists and retail workers often suffer from repetitive motion injuries.

OVEREXERTION Every year, there are over 3 million hospital visits because of overexertion. Lifting heavy objects with your back, rather than your legs, is one way to overexert yourself, resulting in sprains and strains that may cause pain.
