Workers’ Comp & No Fault

Workers’ Compensation

Patients that suffer from work-related injuries may meet the treatment goals of physical therapy but cannot return to work due to deconditioning (being out of shape).

Work conditioning programs, which often simulate the demands of a given job description, are designed to help patients with the following:

  • Recover their strength
  • Improve endurance
  • Increase flexibility & mobility
  • Improve cardiorespiratory fitnes
  • Personalized interventions are also provided to decrease the odds of re-injury upon return work

Typically, these programs consist of personalized, full-body, intensive training with a focus on the activities that are similar to the physical demands required by a particular category of employment.

To learn more about our work conditioning program, please give us a call.

Physical Therapy for No-fault Auto Accident Victims

Unfortunately, studies show that most of us will be in an auto accident at some point in our lives. The only question remaining is how bad will it be?

Important Things to Remember

  1. Seek treatment as soon as possible.
  2. If you are seriously hurt, go to the ER or local hospital. Be sure to ask for a physical therapy prescription, just in case you may need it.
  3. Don’t have a doctor? We have a team of doctors who can see you and refer you to physical therapy at no out of pocket expense to you. Call us.
  4. If you still experiencing pain or discomfort a few days or more, come to our office to determine if you need further care.
  5. Remember, come in ASAP in order to get better, faster.
  6. Most Auto Insurance companies have what is called Med Pay or Personal Injury Protection (PIP). This means you are covered 100%, with no out-of-pocket expense up to a certain limit. Our office can check into that for you.
  7. At the accident scene, gather as much information on the other driver or drivers as possible. An accident report by Police is always helpful, but not required to have a case.
  8. You should never settle with an insurance company before you have had us evaluate your injury for you. If you settle before your injury is fully resolved, you will be completely on your own and will have to pay-out-of-pocket for your care.
  9. Dealing with insurance companies can be difficult after an auto accident. Hiring a reputable attorney essentially takes you out of the direct bargaining process with the insurance company and all the paperwork & phone calls associated with that process, and allows you to concentrate on healing.
  10. Injuries sustained after a car accident if left untreated can lead to spinal degeneration and a host of other problems for years to come.

FINAL NOTE: We find that many people involved in an auto accident that WAS THEIR FAULT never get treatment.

This tends to be due to the fear that their insurance will go up after a claim is filed. Your PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is why you have auto insurance in the first place.

Many insurance companies will not raise your rates after 1 or even 2 accidents in the same year.

THE INJURIES SUSTAINED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT CAN CAUSE A HOST OF PROBLEMS FOR YEARS TO COME, OR EVEN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO COME IN AND GET CHECKED.
