Occupational Medicine Therapies
 We offer occupational and physical therapy for people with work-related injuries. We can also help companies identify and prevent injury trends through a variety of interventions.
Our occupational medicine specialists have been trained specifically to treat work-related injuries. Each specialist has received extensive training in understanding physical requirements of a job and how they affect the body.
We help implement an appropriate treatment plan by gaining an understanding of the physical requirements of the job. An on-site evaluation may be completed to gain specific information about the physical requirements and measurements of the job, as well as identify any ergonomic concerns. We want to ensure the injured worker is prepared to safely return to work.
We help employees get healthy and return to work, and we provide individualized education to reduce the risk of re-injury. As a result, we can help employers reduce their Workers' Compensation costs and increase company morale and productivity.
We also believe in promoting a healthy lifestyle beyond your employees' immediate health concerns. So, at the conclusion of therapy, every injured worker we treat receives a free 30-day membership to the MedCentral Health & Fitness Center. We'll even waive the enrollment fee for any of our patients who then decide to purchase a membership.
