Work Injuries
More than 70% of workplace injuries involve the joints, muscles, ligaments, spinal discs and nerves of the spine or extremities.
By law, Washington workers may choose chiropractic care for the treatment of their work injury. Dr. Lamar is a Washington State Labor and Industries provider and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of work related injuries. Our office will help you complete all the necessary correspondence related to your work injury. We understand that work injuries are already stressful enough without confusing paperwork. Our experienced staff is highly knowledgeable about the workers compensation system and can assist you in navigating through the workers compensation process.
Sometimes companies will try to direct their injured workers to specific doctors, and although the company may suggest that you attend these doctors, they may not force you to do so on a continued basis. It’s not uncommon for company doctors to be more concerned about the best interests of the company than those of the injured worker.
They may offer less care than you really need by minimizing your injury and simply sending you on your way with little or no treatment. Likewise, the significance of your injuries may not be taken seriously and fully cared for at the Emergency Room.
Our patients always come first. Although we like to think of ourselves as being both company and patient friendly, we will never ignore or minimize your injuries at the insistence of the company or the managed care organization handling your claim.
If you've been involved in a work injury, give our office a call.
