Employers pay more than 15 to 20 billion dollars in worker's compensation costs each year. Eighty percent of workplace injuries are due to worker habits and more than half are musculoskeletal (sprains and strains) in nature. Our objective is to effectively partner with employers to reduce the costs of work-related injuries by focusing on improving workplace design and injury prevention and management. This goal is accomplished through a proactive and integrated team approach which includes the employee, the employer, the physician, the case manager, the clinician and other key members.
