Injured at work?
Chiropractor for Work Injuries in Lake Nona
Hurt on the job? Our doctors evaluate and treat work injuries, explain your options in plain language and document your care clearly, so your recovery and your workers' compensation claim are on solid footing.
Report your injury first
Florida gives you 30 days from the date of a work injury, or from when symptoms first appear, to tell your employer (Florida Statutes, section 440.185). Put it in writing and keep a copy. Back, neck and shoulder injuries from lifting, falls, repetitive tasks and long hours often build up over time, so do not wait for the pain to get worse.
How to get started with us
- Report the injury
Tell your employer in writing. Your employer reports it to their workers' compensation carrier. - Call us with your claim details
Give us your claim number and your adjuster's name and phone number if you have them. - We help request authorization
The carrier must authorize treatment before we begin. We coordinate with the adjuster and let you know where things stand. - Evaluation and care plan
Your doctor examines you, explains your findings and builds a plan around your recovery and your return to work.
Billing for work injury care
Authorized care is billed to the carrier. We bill your employer's workers' compensation carrier and coordinate with your claim. We explain how your claim is being handled before treatment begins.

Questions about work injuries
Can I see Lake Nona Chiropractic for a work injury?
Yes, when your employer's workers' compensation carrier authorizes it. Florida requires carrier authorization before a provider treats a work injury, so call us with your claim information and we will help you request it.
Who pays for my care?
Authorized work injury care is billed to the workers' compensation carrier, not to you. We explain how your claim is being handled before treatment begins.
How soon do I have to report a work injury?
Tell your employer about the injury within 30 days of when it happened or when symptoms first appeared (Florida Statutes, section 440.185). Report it in writing as soon as you can, even if the injury seems minor.
Can I choose my own doctor?
In most cases the carrier authorizes the treating doctor. Florida lets you make a written request for one change of physician during your treatment, and the carrier must respond within 5 days (Florida Statutes, section 440.13). We cannot guarantee authorization, but we can help you with the request.
Is there a limit on chiropractic visits under workers' compensation?
Yes. Florida generally limits medically necessary chiropractic care under workers' compensation to 24 treatments or 12 weeks from the first chiropractic treatment, whichever comes first, unless the carrier authorizes more or the injury is catastrophic. We keep track of where you stand and coordinate referrals when they are appropriate.
Do I need an attorney to be evaluated?
No. If you do have an attorney, with your written authorization we communicate with their office and provide organized records and progress updates.
What does a work injury evaluation include?
A detailed history of how the injury happened and what you do at work, orthopedic and neurologic screening as clinically appropriate, range-of-motion and functional testing, and a personalized care plan with goals and next steps.
