Workers' Comp   Workers’ compensation and spinal injuries often go hand in hand.  This is due to the high number of neck and back injuries caused by unsafe lifting, falling objects, and workplace hazards.

We know you want to get back on your feet and back to work.  We also understand that the process of filing workers’ comp claims and documenting treatment can be stressful and overwhelming.  We’ve made it a priority to assist workers’ compensation patients every step of of the way.
