We deal with work-related injuries every day. Our staff works closely with case managers, physicians, employers and insurance adjustors to streamline the process. Our medical, physical therapy and occupational therapy staff work together to speed patient recovery and get patients back to work sooner.

Once we assess the extent of an employee's injury, we provide detailed, accurate, timely reports to you and your insurance carriers. What's more, we give you the most cost-effective Workers' Compensation claim care by designing non operative treatment plans aimed at rapid rehabilitation and recovery. Expensive surgery is the last resort for the employee and the employer.

We approach each case according to the individual's working health needs, then determine the most efficient, cost-effective course of treatment.
