Workers’ Comp Care in Las Cruces
Expert Support for Workplace Injuries
At Smith Wellness, we understand that workplace injuries can be stressful—not just physically, but also when navigating the workers’ compensation process. Dr. Smith has extensive experience treating work-related injuries and working within the workers’ comp system to ensure you receive the care you need while your claim is properly documented and supported.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
To help streamline your workers’ compensation claim, please bring any paperwork related to your injury, including incident reports, referrals, and any imaging studies (X-rays, MRIs) you’ve already had completed. While we don’t perform X-rays in our office, Dr. Smith can review existing imaging and coordinate with other providers as needed.
Your Workers’ Comp Evaluation
During your initial visit, Dr. Smith will take a detailed history of your work injury and perform a comprehensive physical exam to assess your pain levels, range of motion, and functional limitations. This thorough evaluation establishes a baseline that’s vital for both your treatment plan and your workers’ comp claim.
Comprehensive Treatment and Documentation
Dr. Smith uses evidence-based chiropractic therapies tailored to workplace injuries, including spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, myofascial release, and therapeutic rehabilitation exercises. One of the most important aspects of workers’ comp care is detailed medical documentation. We provide complete records including injury reports, treatment notes, progress assessments, and functional evaluations that support the medical necessity of your care.
Coordination and Communication
We work closely with your employer, adjuster, and any other healthcare providers involved in your care. Dr. Smith provides work-status updates and return-to-work evaluations to help you get back to your job safely and maintain your claim throughout the healing process.
Your Rights in New Mexico
In New Mexico, you have the right to select your treating doctor for workers’ compensation care, and that can include a chiropractor. The New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Administration provides resources to help you understand your benefits and file claims correctly.
