Injured workers may be referred for comprehensive evaluation and treatment by physiatrists and therapists skilled in occupational medicine. Back and neck pain, cumulative trauma disorders, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy are only a few of the problems routinely managed by our occupational medicine team. Our goal is to treat people as effectively as possible while they continue working or, when a respite from work is required, to return them to the workplace as safely and efficiently as possible. Physiatric consultations include a detailed history interview, comprehensive neurologic and musculoskeletal physical exams, and presentation of clear, structured treatment plans. Our physiatrists maintain close communication with referring physicians and caseworkers to facilitate efficient provision of care.
Electrodiagnostic testing is available when necessary.
We will send trained professionals to a worksite on request, either to assess a particular patient's work situation or to evaluate the safety and ergonomics of the workplace as a whole. Such assessments help to improve patient and employer safety awareness and prevent work related injuries. The CORE program offers structured occupational assessment and treatment services, including Functional Capacity Evaluation, Pre-Work Screening, Functional Job Analysis, and Work Conditioning. Our physicians are specially trained to perform professional and objective evaluations, and are certified or eligible for certification by the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners.
