How Do You Get Medical Care for a Workplace Injury?
The main difference between seeking care for a personal injury and a work-related injury is the availability of workers’ compensation insurance. This insurance is provided to any employee injured at work and should cover the cost of your care. At Orthopedic Health of Kansas City, we utilize our years of experience to create a treatment plan based on your symptoms and injury. Our staff are available to help you understand workers’ compensation and how it relates to your case. Contact us for more information.
What Work-Related Injuries Can Be Treated at Urgent Care?
Work-related injuries that are not life-threatening can receive faster and better treatment at our orthopedic urgent care clinics than in an emergency room. In an emergency room, priority is given to the most severely injured, and ER doctors are rarely specialists. When you visit our OrthoKC urgent care clinics, you will be treated by doctors who specialize in orthopedic injuries, and follow-up care can be scheduled with the same team. Common work-related injuries we treat include:
- Fractures
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Sprains
- Repetitive motion injuries
All our urgent care walk-in clinics are available Monday-Friday from 8am to 8pm, with Saturday hours available at our North Kansas City and Lenexa locations. If you’re been injured at work, we’re waiting to see you.
What is the Treatment Plan for Workplace Injuries?
No two treatment plans are the same; they depend on the patient’s specific injury and medical history. Our industry-leading doctors and surgeons have years of experience in orthopedic treatment options and navigating the world of workers’ compensation. While no two treatment plans are exactly the same, common workplace injuries and their treatment plans include:
- Fractures: Treatment plan may include immobilization to set the bones or surgery, as well as pain management and physical therapy
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Treatment plan may include splinting, physical therapy, activity modification, steroid injections, and in extreme cases, surgery
- Sprains: Treatment plan may include bracing, physical therapy, pain management, and in extreme cases, surgery
- Repetitive motion injuries: Treatment plan may include immobilization, ergonomic evaluation, physical therapy, and surgery
Don’t wait to seek care if you’ve been injured at work. Many orthopedic injuries will only worsen over time. Early intervention may mean the difference between a treatment plan that includes physical therapy and lifestyle changes and one that requires surgery.
