Workers Compensation
Perhaps you are wondering what impact a Chiropractor could have when it comes to workers’ compensation? How does lowering total cost and enabling faster return to work sound? Many workers’ compensation studies have been done; several are summarized here. In state after state the studies clearly indicate that chiropractic care is far more effective for workers’ compensation patients than medical care, as nationwide statistics show that 80 cents of every workers’ compensation dollar is spent in the management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders, such as back injuries and upper extremity disorders, including carpal-tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. Eighteen years of private practice, as well as serving as a workers’ compensation Panel Provider for over 400 local employers, has made it clear that a successful workers’ compensation management program can effectively reduce costs and improve a company’s bottom line.
