Workers’ Compensation Q & A

What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that pays your medical bills for injuries, diseases, and illnesses that occur while you’re engaged in your typical work activities. The insurance also replaces some of your lost wages if your injury forces you to take more than seven days away from work.

The state of Texas currently allows private employers to choose whether they will carry workers’ compensation. However, most employers do offer insurance to their employees.

What common conditions are covered by workers’ compensation?

Though some occupations pose a higher risk, you can end up with an injury on any job. Some of the most common workers’ compensation injuries include:

Slip-and-fall accidents
Being struck by an object
Accidents involving tools
Car and truck accidents
Repetitive use injury
Construction accident
Exposure to chemicals
Lifting injury

Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome represent some of the top work-related conditions, but fractures, dislocations, and cuts are also common. The team at Elation Physical Therapy often helps patients with pain in the knee, lower back, and shoulders due to a health problem that occurred on the job.

What happens during physical therapy for workers’ compensation cases?

The team at Elation Physical Therapy gives you a complete physical exam, evaluates your physical health, and assesses your strength and balance. Based on the type and severity of the injury, they create a physical therapy regimen to help you recover and get back to work as fast as possible.

Each person’s therapy is different because it’s based on their specific injury and the activities they perform at work.

As a general guideline, your physical therapy includes exercises to build strength and restore mobility, as well as functional training to restore the skills you need to return to work. In some cases, your therapy may include posture and ergonomic training.

The team at Elation Physical Therapy also completes all of the required workers’ compensation reports. They promptly submit your paperwork to ensure timely claims processing. They also communicate as needed with your case manager, employer, and attorney.
