Work Injuries

Being injured at work can cause immense amounts of stress and pain resulting in ineffectiveness and for the self-employed, the inability to provide adequate income for your family. Our first priority is to minimize and/or eliminate any pain you're experiencing to get you back to work safely as quickly as possible. We'll then look to restore function and make a long-term plan.

The physical therapists at Guymon Physical Therapy & Wellness generally adhere to the following protocol when it comes to work-related and/or workers' compensation injuries:

Talk to your employer about how we can help you recover quickly from your injury and get you back to work safely. We offer a variety of comprehensive programs for injured workers to promote timely recoveries. Our primary objective in dealing with a work-related injury is to restore optimal function for safe and efficient job performance while minimizing the risk of reinjury.

Guymon Physical Therapy & Wellness offers effective case management details, timely reports, and open channels of communication between health care providers, injured workers, and case managers who handle worker’s compensation cases.

We assess injuried employees' current functional abilities and aim to understand the job requirements. Treatment therapy often consists of a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, body mechanics training, patient education and do-at-home programming.
