Industrial Medicine In Baton Rouge, LA

Industrial rehab helps workers recover from job injuries and safely return to work. It goes beyond Physical Therapy by considering the work environment and incorporating Occupational Therapy. This means:

• Focus on work: Therapists assess workplaces and job demands to tailor treatment.
• Preventing future injuries: They recommend ergonomic changes and safer work practices.
• Faster return to work: Combining Physical and Occupational Therapy helps workers recover quickly.

Industrial Medicine helps everyone in the workplace!

• Employees: Recover faster from injuries and return to work safely.
• Employers: Reduce injury costs, boost morale, and streamline injury management.
• Workplace Programs: Promote employee health and safety by addressing injuries and fostering healthy habits.
• Therapists: Gain expertise to offer specialized care for work injuries.
• Workforce Health: Prevent injuries, provide safety training, and ensure overall worker well-being.

Industrial Medicine tackles a wide range of work injuries, helping employees return to work safely. It treats conditions like:

• Joint pain, back pain, fractures, strains, and tendonitis.
• Carpal tunnel and other repetitive stress injuries.
• Migraines worsened by work stress.
• Breathing problems from workplace hazards (COPD and emphysema).
• Burns.

This therapy goes beyond healing. It addresses the root cause in the workplace to prevent future injuries. It uses Physical Therapy, ergonomics, and medication, with minor surgery possible in some cases.

Industrial Medicine helps injured workers safely return to work (RTW) faster. It uses a team approach (doctors, therapists, etc.) to create a personalized plan for recovery, including:
