Why You Should Get a Second Opinion for Work Injuries
You Should Get a Second Opinion for Work Injuries
As you may have noticed, we offer services to those who have been injured on the job. While we do work with some companies to provide this service to their employees, we will also help diagnose and treat people with work injuries whose companies are not partnered with us.

When you are hurt on the job, your company will send you to a clinic or doctor that they have partnered with for handling workers’ compensation claims. However, there are many good reasons to get a second opinion from an independent doctor for work injuries.
When you are hurt on the job, a workers’ compensation insurance company and their partnered clinic will handle your workers’ compensation claim and your diagnosis and treatment. These professionals are working on the side of the employer, not the employee. For this reason, some less ethical doctors may not give a full examination for an accurate diagnosis.

Here’s what you need to know about the additional training that DOs have received.

Osteopathic Schools
DOs attend osteopathic schools, which train them in a variety of additional skills. These schools train DOs to treat the body as a whole and specifically train them to be primary care physicians. At these schools, they also receive additional training on the musculoskeletal system, which can help them treat the body as a whole rather than treating only symptoms. The training that is received in these schools gives DOs an advantage in diagnostics and treatment.
