This month we are highlighting CORPORATE HEALTH! At Advanced Medical of Florida, we provide resources for companies who want ensure their teams are healthy while reducing their risk of future injuries.

Local employers have utilized us to come visit on-site for ergonomic assessments and workshops to ensure the work stations of team members are set up properly. We also have administered take home exercises that help reduce the risk of future injuries like carpal tunnel, neck pain, back pain, and common types of tendinitis.

We have also been requested to participant in corporate health fairs. We provide free thermography scans and no-charge consultations with our doctors on-site at the health fairs.

Most major workers’ compensation insurance plans cover those who are injured at work. The insurance can cover in person appointments at our clinics or telehealth visits. We also accept most personal health insurance plans for non-work related injuries.

You may be wondering if you need X-rays before beginning physical therapy.

In general, you do not need advanced diagnostic tests like an X-ray or MRI before starting physical therapy. If your pain or functional limitation came on gradually, or for no apparent reason, then your condition most likely does not warrant these tests right away, and it is safe to participate in physical therapy.

When you have your initial visit with our clinic, we will determine whether we recommend an X-ray or MRI. Very often, if is not necessary. If we feel it is recommended, we will work with your insurance company and help you obtain the proper authorization to proceed with getting the imaging done. Then we will review the results and incorporate the information into your treatment plan.

You may be wondering if your physical therapist can write you a prescription or give a pain relieving injection.While these things are not normally involved in treatment, we have an advantage in that we have a medical doctor on our staff, and when these things are required, we can make them happen.
