Worker Compensation

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Since 1981, the physicians at EMA have striven to establish a reputation of providing comprehensive and compassionate care of injured workers, with special expertise in helping them navigate the complex worker’s compensation claim process in a timely manner. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a work-related injury can take on your health and lifestyle. Our goal is to educate the worker on the nature of the injury, its short/long term consequences and explore sound evidence-based treatments to aid their return to work in a timely and safe manner. As rehabilitation specialists, we use an inter-disciplinary team approach in your recovery process, closing the loop between the injured worker, employer, specialists, therapists, claims managers and vocational counselors, with effective communication. Our ultimate focus is on maximizing function with timely and cost-effective evidence-based care, thereby minimizing the ill-effects of protracted disability.
