Work Related Injuries

Billions of dollars are spent yearly on work-related injuries.

Carolina Physical Therapy’s goal is to collaborate with injured workers, doctors, adjustors, case managers, and employers to ensure workplace safety and help get employees back to work as quickly and as safely as possible. We have contracts with all worker’s compensation insurance carriers and third-party administrators, further emphasizing our commitment to workplace safety.

At Carolina Physical Therapy, our treatment approach is supported by a set of core principles that prioritize self-responsibility, body mechanics, posture, and the cultivation of general strength and conditioning, all with a focus on workplace safety. We provide a suite of specialized programs, including Work Reconditioning, Back and Neck, and Job Analysis, tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. Our commitment to cutting-edge technology is evident in the presence of BTE (Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment) Primus work simulation machines. These machines allow us to meticulously replicate a variety of job-related activities, facilitating a seamless transition back to the workplace.

Functional Capacity Evaluations, integral to our services, are conducted both as part of post-offer screenings and to assist in assessing a worker’s post-injury capabilities and job demand level, further promoting workplace safety. Our FCEs adhere to the stringent standards set by the Department of Labor, ensuring rigor and consistency.

Furthermore, Carolina Physical Therapy provides comprehensive Impairment Ratings, aligning with the American Medical Association’s Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. This vital service plays a significant role in assessing the extent of impairment and determining the appropriate compensation and accommodations for individuals dealing with lasting injuries, enhancing overall workplace safety.
