Back Pain Tips

Who Pays for Care when a Worker is Injured?

Treatment will be provided at no cost to the injured for medically necessary care approved and provided by authorized health care providers. Approved treatment can include doctor appointments, diagnostic testing, surgery, hospital and physician care, mileage reimbursement to and from all medical providers, and any other medical items or treatment ordered by your authorized physician.

Do I need a back support belt?

Support belts are ideal for those who are engaged in heavy lifting, such as people in industrial and construction work. But if you are a weekend warrior, a do-it-yourselfer, or if you are recovering from a back injury, you may also need these belts.

Which should you buy?

Check the equipment’s stability before making a purchase to make sure that it can carry your weight. Look for one with rubber soles for better grips. Also make sure that the chair tilts at a safe angle to avoid accidents from happening. Pick out a chair that you feel comfortable using. Check its parts to make sure that they are well-made and the seats must be well-padded.
