If an employee was injured at work, we work closely with the employee and employer to manage the case effectively and efficiently. As with any patient, we strive to help them to return to work as soon and as safely as possible and to prevent long-term disability. Our rehabilitation team emphasizes work conditioning and readiness. We can also offer advice and recommendations on changes or modifications to a patient’s work station that will help ensure long-term success for everyone.
