Work Injuries
Work injuries can come from a single accident or repeated stress over time. PPSI evaluates the source of pain, documents findings, and coordinates treatment so patients can recover function and return safely when medically appropriate.
Types of workplace injuries
- Lifting and twisting injuries
- Repetitive stress and overuse pain
- Falls at work
- Machine or equipment-related trauma
- Neck, back, shoulder, knee, wrist, hand, ankle, or foot pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
Evaluation process
Providers review job duties, injury timing, symptoms, prior care, physical findings, and imaging or diagnostic needs. The plan is built around diagnosis and functional goals.
Workers compensation documentation
PPSI documents clinical findings, care recommendations, treatment response, and work status when medically appropriate for workers compensation coordination.
Specialty care access
Patients can access pain management, orthopedics, chiropractic care, physical therapy, podiatry, spine care, and EMG testing through the PPSI network.
