Work Injury Rehab: what to expect and why it happens.
Work-related pain almost always has more than one thing driving it. At Wellspring, your team looks at all of it together.
Evaluates the root cause. Orders imaging or diagnostic testing when appropriate. Ensures your treatment plan has a solid medical foundation before hands-on care begins.
Manual therapy, movement retraining, and targeted exercise to restore function and reduce pain. Your PT team works with you through every exercise. Identifies and corrects the muscle imbalances and movement patterns contributing to your pain.
Targeted, therapeutic work designed to address the soft tissue tension and restriction that contributes to your pain. Coordinated with your PT plan. 60-minute sessions using deep tissue and hot stone techniques.
Yes. We work with workers compensation insurance and document evaluation and treatment in a way that supports your claim. We can verify your benefits before treatment begins. Our Insurance & Pricing page covers the specifics of accepted plans.
Referral requirements vary by employer and insurance carrier. Some workers comp claims require a referral from the treating physician, and others do not. We can help you figure out what your specific claim needs.
Yes. Many work-related pain patterns build up over time without a specific incident or claim. We treat work-related pain whether or not workers comp is involved. Care can be billed through standard health insurance or self-pay.
Two ways. First, we coordinate across three providers (nurse practitioner, physical therapist, and massage therapist) on one plan, which addresses pieces other clinics often miss. Second, we treat to the demands of your job, not just to symptom resolution. The goal is full readiness for the work you do.
If you are on a workers comp claim, your treating providers communicate with the workers comp carrier and sometimes your employer about your work status. We handle that communication carefully and only share what is required for your claim. Anything beyond that stays between you and your care team.
No. You do not need imaging before your first visit. If imaging would be helpful to clarify your diagnosis, your nurse practitioner can order it as part of your care.
A free consultation is the first step. No referral needed.
