For back strains from lifting, sore shoulders from repeated reaching, and slips on the job. We start with the workers' compensation paperwork, then the exam.

Florida workers' compensation pays only for care the insurer authorizes first. Tell your employer, get the claim number, and we confirm authorization before we treat you. Chiropractic care under workers' compensation has a visit limit unless the insurer approves more.
