Workplace injuries can happen in an instant — a fall off a ladder, a mishap with machinery, or even a slip on a wet surface. In many cases, these accidents result in
non-hospital injuries, like broken or fractured bones, that still require prompt and professional medical care.
At Worker Care, we specialize in treating on-the-job injuries — including non-life-threatening fractures and broken bones. So you can avoid the ER, stay compliant with workplace safety guidelines, and get expert care fast.
Broken Bone Doesn’t Always Mean Hospital
Not all fractures require an emergency room visit. In fact, many:
Wrist fractures
foot fractures
Finger and toe fractures
Mild forearm or rib fractures
can be effectively treated at occupational health clinics like Worker Care, where we’re equipped with:
On-site X-rays
Splinting and bracing
Immediate evaluation by occupational injury specialists
Custom return-to-work plans
Why Immediate Treatment Matters
When left untreated or delayed, even minor bone injuries can result in:
Improper healing
Extended time off work
Long-term discomfort
Higher workers’ comp costs
Getting evaluated at Worker Care allows both the employee and the employer to take action right away. We document the injury thoroughly, treat it efficiently.
Our Aftercare Services Include:
Once a fracture is diagnosed and stabilized, recovery begins — and we’re with you every step of the way.
Splinting & Follow-up Care
Work Status Updates
Specialist Referrals if Needed
