Employees should be healthy and in shape to work

At Team Doctors Medical Centers we realize that to succeed in business today, an employee has to have the strength, stamina, and drive of an athlete. Physical fitness is an important part of a healthy lifestyle no matter what your job is. That is why we give the same attention to your employees as we do to the athletes we treat when it comes to fitness. Team Doctors has health screenings, physicals, fitness education programs and nutritional advising to keep your employees in competition shape. We employ a sports medicine attitude towards industrial back care through the use of athletic trainers and exercise physiologists

Sacrifice

At Team Doctors Medical Center we promise to give you the best medical care available today. We promise to have your injured workers back on the job in two weeks or less or you will pay nothing for the treatment. We also promise to work towards reducing the incidence of injury in your company through educational programs and employee health screenings and physicals. And finally, we promise to provide these services at a significant savings over what you are currently paying for employee healthcare. Other healthcare providers make significant profits through over utilization, overcharging for services, dragging out treatment time, and playing along with malingerers. Why don't we do the same? Because we want to be your health care provider for life. We realize that you have a choice in health care and we are willing to make some s

So how can a company keep its employees in productive employment while reducing the risk of overpaying medical expenses through workers' compensation. The answer is chiropractic. Studies have proven that chiropractic practitioners working in conjunction with other medical experts can return your back injured workers to productive employment significantly faster and with a savings of 45-55% in overall claims cost when compared to traditional medical care providers alone. This translates into millions of dollars annually for even the smallest compensation funds.

The results of one study summarize the benefits of chiropractic care to you. They show:

1. a significantly lower number of claimants requiring compensation days when chiropractic management was chosen,

2. fewer compensation days taken by claimants who received chiropractic management,

3. a lesser number of patients progressed to the chronic status when chiropractic was included in the care scheme, and

4. a lower average payment per claim with chiropractic management. The research results are unanimous; Studies from across the nation and dating from 1940 to the present all bring us to the same conclusion: Chiropractic management will reduce the number of worker days lost, and will save your company a significant amount of money.

Chiropractors are able to keep costs down because chiropractic treatment does not lead to added costs through ancillary and specialist services, surgical costs, hospitalization, and pharmaceutics. Chiropractic patients receive fewer unnecessary x-rays, and require expensive emergency room treatment with less than one-third the frequency of M.D. patients.

Why Chiropractors?

And the advantages of chiropractic don't stop there. Patients of chiropractors report more satisfaction with the care they receive. In fact, patients report being three times more satisfied with chiropractic care than that given by family practitioners. Surveys show that chiropractors explain problems and treatments better and make patients feel more welcome.

In addition, chiropractic patients are always treated by the same experienced doctor who is familiar with the patient and his or her condition. There is no shuttling of patients around from caregiver to caregiver. There is a more intense level of practitioner - patient interaction with chiropractors, with their patients being seen more frequently but with less total time from diagnosis to full recovery.

Overall, chiropractors are better trained to diagnose and treat back specific injuries than are other medical practitioners. They are educated in the use of a wide variety of different diagnostic tools and procedures, allowing them to positively identify the problem quickly, without wasting time with unnecessary testing.

Chiropractors are also trained to perform a wider range of spinal treatment procedures than are M.D.s, resulting in better, faster, longer lasting back care. This back specific training and technology not only allows for fast and effective diagnosis and treatment of back-related injuries, but also virtually eliminates the problem of malingerers. So you won't be paying at all for those who aren't injured and your company will pay less for those who are.

INJURY PREVENTION

"The greatest service of a specialist is to prevent what he treats. "
And why have your employees getting injured in the first place. Your company will save more money by preventing injuries than you could ever save with even the cheapest of health care programs. Team Doctors facilities offer pre-employment physicals, safety classes, on site ergonomic evaluations, and instructional back programs which are proven to reduce the incidence of injury in the workplace.

With pre-employment physicals and regular employee health screening we can prevent your company from inheriting injured workers from other companies, and can help to eliminate avoidable injuries caused by excess weight, inflexibility, or untreated injuries sustained at a previous time. Studies have shown that patients of chiropractic practitioners have a lesser chance of incurring on the job injuries due to the effective screening, education, and treatment which chiropractors provide.

Team Doctors Medical Center provides state-of-the-art pre-employment / pre-placement physicals, interactive back safety programs, lectures by our Doctors on various topics, e.g. "Nutrition", "Safety Tips", "Proper Lifting", "Preventive Care" and periodic in-house spinal screenings.
