Physical Therapy plays a pivotal role in rehabilitation from workplace injuries. Physical Therapy is covered by workman’s compensation insurance and is the first step in your road to recovery and pain-free return to work.
Some of the common workplace injuries can be
· Injuries related to falls which can often impact multiple areas of the body
· Sprains or strains to the muscles, tendons and ligaments
· Low back pain or disc issues
· Repetitive injuries
· Other job site related trauma
Navigating workman’s compensation can be a confusing process. You always want to report your injury to your supervisor who can then guide you to see the right doctor. Once the doctor completes his/her evaluation, they can recommend physical therapy.
