Workers' Compensation
Work-related injuries and illness cost American businesses billions of dollars each year. Direct medical payments make up only part of the cost associated with work-related injuries. Did you know that up to 80 percent of the total cost of work-related injuries is estimated to result from indirect expenses such as recruiting and training new staff, overtime, and lost productivity?
SSPT can help patients regain their pre-injury function and return to work more quickly. SSPT also assists organizations in reducing the risk and financial loss associated with work-related injuries; our therapists have extensive clinical and onsite experience helping companies prevent injuries and improve productivity.
SSPT collaborates with organizations and employees to provide workers' compensation services that include:
- Appointments within 24 hours of initial contact to facilitate early intervention—a critical first step in achieving positive return-to-work outcomes
- Return-to-work plans outlining the worker’s plan of care, modified work plan, and interventions that enable the employee to return to work as soon as possible
- Ongoing functional evaluations to determine the worker’s functional abilities and identify any limitations to returning to work safely
- Work conditioning programs to assist employees who are past the acute care phase of rehabilitation and have modified work plans to return to work at full capacity
- Active participation of the injured worker and employer in the development of return-to-work plans and stay-at-work strategies to prevent re-injury and further absences
- Ongoing communication regarding the worker’s status and return-to-work plan with the employee, employer, case manager, and other parties involved in returning the employee to work

- Ankle sprain
- ACL injuries
