At Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute, our orthopedic specialists understand the unique challenges of workplace injuries and the workers’ compensation process. We provide comprehensive care for work-related injuries, helping patients recover safely while keeping employers, case managers, and insurers informed throughout treatment.
Our coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach ensures you receive the care you need, from diagnosis through rehabilitation, so you can focus on healing and returning to work.
LBJI’s team works together to support recovery while aligning with workers’ compensation requirements and timelines. Our care coordinators communicate with all involved parties to streamline the process and reduce delays in treatment or return-to-work decisions.
On-site services offered at LBJI:
Workers’ compensation typically covers injuries that occur on the job, including fractures, sprains, strains, repetitive stress injuries, and work-related spine or joint conditions. Coverage depends on your employer and claim approval.
Our care coordinators communicate directly with employers, case managers, and insurers to provide updates on your treatment plan, progress, and work status. This helps ensure a smooth and efficient recovery process.
Return-to-work timing depends on your injury, treatment plan, and job requirements. Your provider will determine when it is safe to return and may recommend modified or light-duty work during recovery.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation measures your physical abilities, such as strength, movement, and endurance, to determine your readiness to return to work. It helps ensure you can safely perform job-related tasks.
