🌟 Navigating a Workers’ Compensation Injury? Here’s What You Need to Know

At Panhandle Ortho, we’re committed to helping you heal confidently and understand the process every step of the way. If you’ve been injured at work, here are some essential tips to protect your health and your rights:

🛡️ 1. Know Your Rights
Every state has its own workers’ compensation laws—take the time to research yours. Knowing what you’re entitled to can make a huge difference in your recovery and peace of mind.

💙 2. Prioritize Your Health
Be your own advocate. Speak up, ask questions, and make sure your providers understand what you’re experiencing. Your health comes first.

⏳ 3. Be Patient, but Persistent
Workers’ comp cases can take time. Stay engaged, follow up when needed, and remember: the goal is to receive the proper care to help you recover and safely return to work.

📅 4. Stick to Your Treatment Plan
Consistency matters. Attend all appointments—including physical therapy—follow activity restrictions, and stick closely to your provider’s recommendations. This not only supports your healing but also shows the insurer that you are committed to your recovery.

🗣️ 5. Be Honest With Your Provider
Accurate and detailed descriptions of your pain and symptoms help your medical team give you the best care possible.

📝 6. Keep a Personal Record
Track your appointments, symptoms, treatment progress, and any changes you notice. A detailed record can be incredibly valuable during the workers’ comp process.

If you’ve been injured and need orthopedic care you can trust, Panhandle Ortho is here to support you every step of the way. 💙

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This month, we honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, and remember the ones we’ve lost.

Let’s stand together in strength, hope, and love — reminding every woman to prioritize her health, schedule her screenings, and support one another through every chapter.

Early detection saves lives.
Let’s wear pink with purpose — for awareness, for action, for each other.
