Work Related Injuries

Information is out of date

Worker’s comp injuries come with a wide variety of causes and with varying degrees of severity. They can be similar to many other injuries, and it all depends on what you do for a living and how you injured yourself on the job. What makes worker’s comp injuries different is that you’re not going through your personal health insurance, you’re filing a worker’s compensation claim.

What Is a Worker’s Comp Injury

Worker’s compensation injuries are ones that happen on the job. They can be minor or they can leave you permanently disabled. Worker’s compensation can be an injury you incurred as a result of doing your duties or simply being on work property. A worker’s compensation claim refers to filing your bills or other financial-related documents to an insurance policy that your employer is required to have. Worker’s compensation is basically a type of insurance that compensates employees for injuries or disabilities suffered as a result of employment. It is separate from your regular healthcare insurance.

At Physical Therapists NYC, we can help you file your bills from treatment in our office with your worker’s compensation insurance company. We are not able to offer legal advice regarding your claim or how you should proceed. This can be a very complex area of the law and liability, you may want to seek legal help for specific questions that are unrelated to our bills and services.

Worker’s Comp Physical Therapy

Every job has its own nuances that can lead to a worker’s comp claim, from an acute injury to repetitive use syndrome. Even walking up the stairs at work can be a hazard and cause an injury that needs physical therapy for a complete recovery. That said, there are some more common injuries that we see on a regular basis related to work injuries and professional dance injuries.

• Strains of the spine, mainly focused on the thoracic and lumbar regions
• Disc herniation
• Sprains and torn ligaments in ankles and wrists
• Shoulder impingement and strain
• Hip injuries
• Knee injuries including strain and sprains
• Overuse or repetitive use syndrome and injuries
• Falls and other traumatic or acute injuries
• Broken bone recovery
• Post-surgical recovery

Physical therapy can play a large role in your recovery. Having a trained therapist work with you to rebuild strength and range of motion is important following any injury. Getting your muscles back in shape and preventing the build-up of scar tissue, permanently tight joints and ligaments, and adding strength will improve the outcome for anyone suffering from an injury.

Where PT for worker’s compensation injuries becomes especially important is the modification training and adaptations that might be necessary to prevent future injury or disability. The odds are that you’re going to return to your job after an injury at work. If you’re continuing to do exactly the same thing that caused your injury in the first place, you’re likely to experience another injury in the future. Through physical therapy, you can learn new techniques for performing routine tasks that protect your injured region and promote a healthier work environment for you.
