Work-Related Injuries We Treat

Workers’ Compensation Pain Management for Work-Related Injuries

A workplace injury can affect your back, neck, joints, or nerves. Our team provides specialized pain management for common work-related injuries, with treatment options tailored to your condition and recovery needs.

Back & Lumbar Injuries

Lifting, bending and long shifts are the top causes of low back pain at work.

Neck Strain & Whiplash

Work vehicle accidents and overhead tasks can strain the neck and cause headaches.

Herniated & Bulging Discs

One heavy lift or years of physical work can injure a disc and pinch a nerve.

Joint & Extremity Pain

Shoulders, knees and hips take the stress of physical jobs every day.

Nerve Pain & Radiculopathy

A spine injury can irritate a nerve and send pain or tingling into the arms or legs.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Repeating the same task all day can cause overuse injuries that build over time.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Pain that continues after spine surgery may be treated without another open surgery.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

A chronic pain condition that can follow a fracture, sprain or crush injury at work.

How It Happens at Work

Low back injuries are among the most common reasons workers seek care after an incident on the job. Lifting heavy loads, twisting while carrying materials, repeated bending, and long shifts standing or driving place steady strain on the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the lower spine. Some injuries happen in a single moment, such as a lift that goes wrong or a slip on a wet floor. Others build gradually until everyday tasks become difficult.

Signs to Watch For

Pain across the lower back, stiffness after sitting or standing, muscle spasms, and pain that travels into the buttock or leg are all reasons to be evaluated. Pain that worsens when lifting, bending, or getting in and out of a vehicle can quickly affect a worker’s ability to perform the job.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Epidural steroid injections
  2. 02Facet joint injections
  3. 03Medial branch blocks
  4. 04Radiofrequency ablation
  5. 05Minimally invasive spine procedures

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Reporting the injury to your employer promptly and being evaluated early helps create a clear record of when and how the injury happened. At Axis Spine & Pain, our physicians document the findings from each visit, including your level of function and any work restrictions, so your employer, adjuster, and case manager have the information they need. Our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator helps schedule your visits and keeps communication organized throughout your care.

How It Happens at Work

Neck injuries on the job often follow a sudden movement of the head and neck. Collisions while driving a company vehicle, falls, and being struck by a falling object can cause whiplash, in which the neck moves rapidly forward and back. Overhead work, such as installing fixtures or stocking high shelves, and long hours looking down at a screen or work surface can also strain the muscles and joints of the cervical spine over time.

Signs to Watch For

Common symptoms include neck pain and stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches that start at the base of the skull, and pain that spreads into the shoulders or upper back. Some workers also notice tingling or numbness in the arms or hands. After a vehicle accident, symptoms may not appear until hours or even days later, so an evaluation is worthwhile even if you felt fine at the scene.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Epidural steroid injections
  2. 02Medial branch blocks
  3. 03Radiofrequency ablation
  4. 04Occipital nerve blocks
  5. 05Trigger point injections

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Because neck symptoms can be delayed, reporting the incident to your employer right away is especially important. Our physicians record a detailed history of how the injury occurred, along with exam findings and any limits on lifting, driving, or overhead work. This documentation is shared with the parties involved in your claim, and our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator helps arrange timely appointments at our Middle Georgia offices.

How It Happens at Work

The discs between the vertebrae act as cushions for the spine. A bulging disc extends beyond its normal boundary, while a herniated disc occurs when part of the soft inner material pushes through the tougher outer layer. On the job, a heavy lift with poor leverage, a fall, or a twisting motion while carrying a load can injure a disc. Years of physical labor can also contribute to disc wear that makes an injury more likely.

Signs to Watch For

A disc injury may cause localized back or neck pain. When the disc presses on a nearby nerve, pain can travel down the leg, often called sciatica, or into the arm. Numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness are also common, and symptoms often worsen with sitting, bending, coughing, or sneezing.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Image-guided epidural steroid injections
  2. 02Nerve root blocks
  3. 03Minimally invasive procedures

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

An accurate diagnosis is important for both your care and your claim. Our physicians review your symptoms, perform a physical exam, and order imaging when appropriate to understand which disc and nerve are involved. Each visit is documented with your current function and any work restrictions, giving your employer, adjuster, and attorney clear and timely records. Our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator serves as your direct point of contact for scheduling and questions.

How It Happens at Work

Shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, and wrists absorb much of the stress of physical work. Kneeling and climbing put repeated pressure on the knees and hips. Overhead tasks, such as reaching, lifting above shoulder height, or using tools overhead, strain the shoulder joint and the tissues around it. Direct impact from a fall, a collision with equipment, or a dropped object can injure a joint in a single moment.

Signs to Watch For

Joint injuries often cause pain with movement, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Some workers notice weakness, clicking, or a feeling that the joint catches or gives way. These symptoms can make it difficult to climb ladders, kneel, grip tools, or lift, which directly affects the ability to work safely and comfortably through a full shift.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Joint injections
  2. 02Sacroiliac joint injections
  3. 03Radiofrequency ablation
  4. 04Trigger point injections

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Prompt evaluation helps identify the injured structure and document how the injury relates to the incident you reported. Our physicians record your function and any work restrictions at every visit, such as limits on kneeling, climbing, or overhead activity, so your employer can plan modified duty when it is available. Our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator keeps scheduling and communication organized from your first visit forward.

How It Happens at Work

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root near the spine becomes compressed or irritated. At work, this often follows an injury that affects the structures around the nerve, such as a herniated disc from a heavy lift, a fall, or a vehicle accident. When it starts in the neck, symptoms usually affect the arms and hands. When it starts in the lower back, symptoms usually affect the legs and feet.

Signs to Watch For

Nerve pain often feels sharp, burning, or electric, and it typically travels along the path of the affected nerve. Numbness, tingling, or a pins-and-needles sensation are common, and some workers develop weakness that affects grip strength, balance, or walking. Symptoms that spread into the arm or leg after a workplace injury should be evaluated as soon as possible.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Epidural steroid injections
  2. 02Peripheral nerve blocks
  3. 03Radiofrequency ablation
  4. 04Spinal cord stimulation
  5. 05Peripheral nerve stimulation

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Pinpointing which nerve is involved and why helps guide care and supports clear claim documentation. Our physicians review your history and exam findings and may recommend imaging or other diagnostic testing when appropriate. Findings, function, and work restrictions are documented at each visit, and our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator helps coordinate appointments and authorizations with your employer, adjuster, or case manager.

How It Happens at Work

Repetitive motion injuries develop when the same movement is performed many times over weeks, months, or years. Assembly line work, scanning and packing, typing, lifting boxes throughout a shift, and using vibrating or hand-held tools are common examples. The repeated stress can irritate tendons, joints, and nerves in the wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and back.

Signs to Watch For

These injuries usually begin gradually. Early signs include aching or soreness that gets worse toward the end of a shift, stiffness, reduced grip strength, and tingling or numbness in the hands or fingers. Without attention, symptoms may become more frequent and start to interfere with daily tasks outside of work. Paying attention to these early warning signs can help keep a minor problem from becoming a long-term limitation.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Joint injections
  2. 02Trigger point injections

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Because repetitive motion injuries do not come from a single incident, documentation matters. Reporting symptoms to your employer when you first notice them, and describing the tasks you perform each day, helps establish a clear history. Our physicians record your job duties, symptoms, and work restrictions at every visit, and our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator helps your employer and adjuster stay informed throughout your care.

What It Means for Injured Workers

Failed back surgery syndrome is a term used to describe pain that continues or returns after spine surgery. It does not necessarily mean the surgery was performed incorrectly. Ongoing pain can be related to scar tissue, nerve irritation, changes at nearby levels of the spine, or the original injury itself. For workers who had surgery after an injury on the job, persistent pain can delay a return to work.

Signs to Watch For

Symptoms may include ongoing back or leg pain, pain that feels different from what you experienced before surgery, numbness or tingling, and reduced ability to sit, stand, walk, or lift. Pain that has not improved as expected after the recovery period is a reason to seek a follow-up evaluation with a pain management specialist.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Spinal cord stimulation (with a temporary trial first)
  2. 02Epidural steroid injections
  3. 03Radiofrequency ablation

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

When spine surgery was part of a workers’ compensation claim, continued care may be addressed through that claim, depending on authorization. Our physicians review your surgical history, records, and current symptoms to understand the source of ongoing pain. Each visit is documented with your function and work restrictions, and our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator works with your adjuster or case manager on scheduling and authorizations.

How It Happens at Work

Complex regional pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition that usually affects an arm or a leg. It can develop after a workplace injury such as a fracture, a sprain, a crush injury, or surgery. With CRPS, the pain is more severe and lasts longer than would be expected from the original injury. Its exact cause is not fully understood, but it involves an abnormal response of the nervous system.

Signs to Watch For

Common symptoms include burning or throbbing pain, extreme sensitivity to touch or cold, and swelling in the affected limb. The skin may change in color, temperature, or texture, and some people notice stiffness or changes in hair and nail growth. Because early symptoms can be mistaken for slow healing, they are sometimes overlooked during the first weeks after an injury.

Potential Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, options may include:

  1. 01Peripheral nerve blocks
  2. 02Spinal cord stimulation
  3. 03Peripheral nerve stimulation

The appropriate approach is determined after an evaluation by one of our physicians.

Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Recognizing CRPS early helps guide care and keeps your claim records accurate. Our physicians evaluate your symptoms in the context of the original workplace injury and document the findings, your function, and any work restrictions at each visit. Our Workers’ Compensation Coordinator serves as one point of contact for you, your employer, your adjuster, and your attorney throughout your care.
