WORKERS COMPENSATION

Workplace injuries are common and can be debilitating, often stemming from high-risk jobs, inadequate safety devices, lack of training, and repetitive stress. Repetitive stress injuries, the most frequent work-related injuries, arise from forceful or prolonged exertion and awkward postures. At Midwest Orthopedic Specialists, Dr. Richard Baumann, Dr. Curtis Burton, Dr. Rahul Basho, and Ashley Hodges, NP-C, treat occupational injuries and help patients recover. Approximately 85% of Worker’s Compensation cases are musculoskeletal, and 97% of injured employees return to work immediately after treatment.
