Work-Related Injuries & Care Worksense®

 

Injured on the job? Unable to work because of an injury? We’re here to help.

 

If you’ve been injured on the job, you need relief from the pain and/or immobility of the injury itself. But you also need to get back to work, because it’s your livelihood. And if your injury is covered by Workers’ Compensation, it’s important that you comply with the rules and standards.

 

 

 

 

At Orthopedic & Sport Therapy Services (OSTS), we understand that a workplace injury is a lot to deal with. We also understand the nature of injuries and how to get you back on the job. And that’s important, because workplace injuries can be challenging to treat. This is where our comprehensive approach and our WORKSENSE program make a difference.

 

 

We combine hands-on and proven therapies, graded exercise, patient education and home programs to get you back to work safely... and in as little time as possible. We’ll also show you how to best meet the physical demands of your job. How to position and move your body more safely. How to maintain your results. And how to prevent muscle and joint pain and future injuries.

 

 

At Orthopedic & Sport Therapy Services, we’re proud to have extensively trained, dedicated physical therapists who have the skill and expertise to help you get back to work as completely —and quickly — as possible. Our WORKSENSE work-conditioning program specifically targets the tasks you need to perform at work. Our therapists work with you individually to ensure you can return to work in a timely fashion... and safely. We perform standardized functional capacity evaluations (FCEs) to test your physical abilities and match them to the demands of your work tasks, which is vital to ensuring a safe return to your job. And we “stage” your return to work, helping you get back in stages, increasing your tasks as your ability to perform them improves.

 

 

If your injury is covered by Workers’ Compensation, we make sure your care is handled properly. We work with your case manager and physician and file all the necessary paperwork. We also make sure everyone involved understands exactly where you are in your recovery, what you can and can’t do and when you’re truly ready to return to work.
