Yes, Florida workers’ compensation covers chiropractic care for work-related injuries. You need to have reported the injury to your employer, filed a claim, and received authorization from the carrier or managed care organization before your first visit. Once you have that authorization number, call us and we’ll get you in fast.
How Authorization Works in Florida
Florida workers’ comp requires pre-authorization before treatment begins. If your claim is already filed and you’ve been referred for chiropractic care, you should have an authorization number from the carrier. Call us at (904) 539-3352 with that number and we’ll confirm participation and schedule your first appointment.
Not sure where you are in the process? Call us anyway. We can walk you through the general steps, every employer and carrier is a little different, but we’ve been through it enough times to help you figure out where to start.
Documentation That Holds Up
Workers’ comp chiropractic demands detailed, objective documentation at every single visit, and we deliver it. From day one we track:
- Range of motion measurements
- Objective clinical findings
- Functional status relative to your specific job demands
At discharge, we produce a functional capacity summary that supports your claim and any return-to-work determinations. Our records have been reviewed by workers’ comp adjusters and attorneys, they hold up to that scrutiny.
We Build Your Plan Around Your Job
Getting you back to your job is the goal, not just “feeling better.” That means we need to know what your work actually demands, and we target function in those exact terms. Modified-duty recommendations come from objective findings, not pain ratings alone.
We’ve treated warehouse workers from the distribution facilities near the port, healthcare workers, construction tradespeople, and office staff, each with different physical demands and different recovery targets. Jacksonville’s workforce is diverse and so are the treatment plans we build.
