The Chiropractic Physician's Role in Return to Work

Registration Closed

Our patients spend about 1/3 of their lives at work. Their most valuable asset is their income. When an injury or illness interferes with this facet of their lives, there is severe disruption in their lifestyle and ability to function normally. Since work is such a valuable part of most of their lives, your role in assisting them in the return to work is one of the most important components of their lives at that time.
