Expert Care for Work-Related Injuries
At ONYX Spine & Orthopedic Institute, we specialize in workers’ compensation spine and orthopedic care, helping injured employees recover efficiently and return to work safely. Our board-certified spine specialists, orthopedic surgeons, and advanced care team serve as trusted providers for the injured worker, as well as employers, adjusters, and nurse case managers across Missouri.
What Is Workers’ Compensation Care?
Workers’ compensation is a state-regulated system designed to support employees who suffer work-related injuries or occupational conditions. At ONYX, our role is to provide medically necessary, evidence-based care that helps injured workers achieve maximum medical improvement (MMI) while following all applicable treatment guidelines.
We provide orthopedic and spine care at every stage. This includes initial diagnosis and conservative treatment as well as surgical repair, rehab, and final rating evaluations. With locations in St. Louis, St. Robert, Jefferson City, and Cape Girardeau, our clinics are easily accessible for patients throughout the region who are searching for work injury treatment or a workers’ compensation clinic.
Our Process: Collaborative, Consistent, and Clear
Each injured worker undergoes a comprehensive initial evaluation by a specialist.
During that visit, we provide:
- A clear diagnosis
- A clear causation statement (if applicable)
- Custom treatment plan
- Defined work restrictions and anticipated MMI dates
- Transparent documentation shared with all parties
We always begin with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, and bracing. If surgery is required, our spine and orthopedic surgeons offer minimally invasive techniques that help patients recover faster. This approach helps reduce missed workdays and long-term complications.
