Workers' Comp Injury Treatment in Glendale

If you’ve been injured on the job, you’re dealing with two problems at once: the injury and the paperwork. We handle both — treatment from evaluation through release, and the documentation your claim requires.

Injuries We Treat

Back & neck injuries

The most common work injury claims — often from lifting, twisting, or prolonged strain.

Lifting Injuries

Sudden onset during a lift, frequently in the lower back or shoulder.

Repetitive Strain & Overuse

Builds gradually from the same motion repeated over months — wrists, elbows, shoulders.

Slips, Trips & Falls

Impact injuries that may involve multiple areas at once.

Shoulder & Knee Injuries

Common in physically demanding roles and jobs requiring overhead work or kneeling.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Strains, sprains, and muscle injuries that don’t show on imaging but limit what you can do.

What You Pay: Nothing

Authorized workers’ compensation treatment is billed directly to the insurance carrier — not to you. No copay, no deductible, no bill afterward.

This is the question most people are actually worried about, so we’ll say it plainly: if your claim is accepted and your treatment is authorized, you don’t pay. If there’s ever a question about coverage, we’ll tell you before we treat you, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay anything out of pocket?

No. Authorized workers’ compensation treatment is billed to the insurance carrier — there’s no copay, no deductible, and no bill sent to you. If there’s ever a coverage question, we’ll raise it with you before treating, not afterward.

Do I need approval before coming in?

In most cases, yes — workers’ comp treatment typically requires authorization, and you’ll usually arrive with a set number of approved visits. Call us at (818) 549-1300 with your claim number and adjuster contact, and we’ll confirm everything before scheduling. If you haven’t reported the injury yet or don’t have a claim number, call anyway — we can help you understand the next step.

What if my employer sent me somewhere else?

You may still have options. California workers’ comp rules govern where you can be treated, and they depend on factors like whether your employer uses a Medical Provider Network and whether you designated a personal physician before your injury. There are also points in the process where you can request a change of provider.

Rather than guess at your situation, call us — we’ll look at your specific claim and tell you honestly whether we can treat you.

How soon should I be seen after an injury?

As soon as you can. Prompt evaluation matters for your recovery, and it also creates the documentation record your claim depends on. Delays between the injury and the first medical visit can complicate a claim. If you were hurt today, call today.
