Work Injuries

Restoring your ability to work productively.

Back pain is the country's most costly workplace health issue. In the United States, this affects one out of every four people. This is closely followed by musculoskeletal disorders which are injuries to the muscles, tendons and/or nerves, mostly of the upper body, either due to repetitive motion, blunt force, compression, vibration or sustained body positions. Our mission includes helping patients regain their work productivity in the most efficient way possible.

We offer effective rehabilitation through a multifaceted approach to treatment. We analyze your work tasks and workplace to determine your functional needs and how you can prevent future injuries. Our goal is to restore you to your employment without restrictions in the shortest time possible, through:

• Ergonomics modification (removing architectural barriers & redesigning workstations) to promote efficiency & physical health
• Posture & body mechanics training (proper standing, lifting, reaching & bending)
• Warm-up exercise & stretching to prevent muscle tear or micro trauma
• Relaxation training to facilitate stress reduction
• Strengthening, flexibility & general conditioning to meet the physical demands of work
• Safety & preventive techniques
• Work simulation activities

We also design programs that enable you to relearn or maintain your skill and performance at work. We maintain close communication with your physician and employer to smooth your transition back to fully functional employment.
