In the world of workers’ compensation, there’s a big difference between checking the box and truly making a difference in a patient’s recovery.  At Spine Solutions Physical Therapy & Worksite Strategies, we’re not just treating work injuries, we’re helping people reclaim their lives with intention, efficiency, and proven outcomes.


We continue to use ODG's (Official Disability Guidelines) evidence-based guidelines for physical therapy treatment to help injured workers return to work safely, efficiently, and with lasting results. Our commitment to best practices means better outcomes for patients, reduced indemnity costs, and simplicity for workers’ comp professionals that we work with.


Why ODG Matters

Too often, injured workers fall through the cracks—lost in a sea of referrals, unclear diagnoses, or care that doesn’t match their actual job demands. These inefficiencies don’t just delay recovery; they drive up costs and prolong time away from work.


That’s where Spine Solutions makes a difference in order to:


  • Reduce over-utilization

  • Prioritize efficient, functional recovery

  • Minimize time away from work

  • Improve communication between all parties involved

The Results Speak for Themselves

From 2022 to 2024, our physical therapy outcomes show the power of doing things right the first time—with significant savings in care utilization while still returning workers to modified or full duty:


Shoulder Injuries: 39.2% savings on physical therapy costs
Knee Injuries:  46.6% savings on physical therapy costs
Back Injuries:  46.2% savings on physical therapy costs.

This is what efficient, effective, and outcomes-driven care looks like.

When care aligns with ODG guidelines, every step of the recovery process is guided by purpose—reducing waste, restoring function, and improving outcomes. At Spine Solutions, we combine evidence-based care with job-specific recovery strategies to ensure every injured worker gets the right care, the first time.
