Experiencing an injury at work can be overwhelming, especially when standard workers’ comp treatments fall short of addressing the root cause of the pain. Many workers’ comp patients find themselves prescribed medication or receiving physical therapy without a proper diagnosis, such as an MRI, which is essential for targeted treatment. Unfortunately, this often results in temporary relief instead of a real solution.
At American Back Centers, we specialize in providing FDA-approved, non-surgical solutions that treat pain at its core. We believe that every patient deserves a correct diagnosis and a treatment plan that works—not one that masks pain.
The Problem with Panel Doctors and Incomplete Diagnosis
It’s common for workers’ comp carriers to refer injured workers to designated panel doctors. However, these doctors often have a limited set of options, and patients frequently report not receiving the necessary diagnostic tests, such as an MRI, to pinpoint the true source of pain. As a result, patients may experience a recurring cycle of pain that physical therapy alone can’t resolve.
Why Correct Diagnosis Matters
A proper diagnosis allows us to understand the unique conditions affecting each patient. For example, some spinal injuries may require vertebral decompression treatments, such as VAX-D, that relieve pressure on affected discs and allow healing to begin. Without a proper diagnosis, critical treatments like these might be overlooked, leading to prolonged discomfort and frustration for the patient.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options at American Back Centers
At American Back Centers, we offer several non-surgical, non-invasive therapies, including:
- VAX-D Therapy: Vertebral Axial Decompression (VAX-D) is a specialized treatment that provides decompression to spinal discs, relieving pain and promoting natural healing.
- Invisa-RED Therapy: This therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared option that combines light and radiofrequency to stimulate blood flow, ease muscle tension, and reduce pain.
- Customized Treatment Plans: Every patient’s needs are unique. We design customized care plans to provide the best path to pain relief.
