Workplace Injuries We Treat
Common workplace injuries treated at our facility include back injuries from lifting, bending, or twisting, slip and fall injuries, repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, bursitis), shoulder injuries from overhead work, knee injuries, and traumatic injuries resulting from falls, strikes, or machinery accidents. We treat workers from manufacturing, construction, warehousing, healthcare, retail, and office environments.
Workers’ Compensation Coordination
Our team coordinates directly with workers’ compensation insurance carriers, employer-designated case managers, and workers’ comp attorneys to ensure that injured workers receive timely, appropriate care while maintaining full compliance with Indiana workers’ compensation requirements. We provide prompt reporting, clear treatment plans, return-to-work assessments, and impairment ratings using AMA Guides methodology.
Return-to-Work Focus
Our treatment philosophy emphasizes safe, timely return to work whenever possible. We develop individualized return-to-work plans that include modified duty recommendations, functional capacity evaluations, work conditioning programs, and graduated activity progression. Our goal is to restore the injured worker’s function while protecting them from re-injury.
