A work injury can put your job, your income, and your everyday comfort on hold. Total Spine and Orthopedics treats work-related spine and orthopedic injuries with ultra-minimally invasive care designed to get you back to work faster, and we work directly with the claims professionals managing your case. If you were hurt on the job in Central Florida, our team is here to help you recover and return to the life you had before.
Injured on the Job? Here Is How We Help
A work injury deserves prompt, expert attention. Delays only prolong pain and slow your recovery, so our team prioritizes fast scheduling, an accurate diagnosis, and a treatment plan matched to your specific injury. Whenever possible, we start with conservative, non-surgical care and reserve surgery for the cases that truly need it. When a procedure is warranted, our minimally invasive techniques mean smaller incisions, less downtime, and a faster return to modified or full duty than traditional open surgery.
If you already have imaging from an urgent care, emergency room, or another provider, our free MRI review gives you a clear, no-obligation explanation of what your images show and what your realistic options are. It is also a simple way to get a second opinion on a work-injury diagnosis.
Common Work-Related Injuries We Treat
