Description
A Revolutionary Approach to Musculoskeletal Health: Cost Control Through A Better Understanding of the Human Movement System
Description: Musculoskeletal problems are the number one cost driver within the workers compensation system and within the top five diagnostic categories on the general health side. The current musculoskeletal paradigm within the U.S. healthcare system is not working and is leading to explosive claims and lost productivity.
This presentation will outline a comprehensive program that focuses on prevention and conservative management of musculoskeletal problems. Comparisons between this new model and the current U.S. healthcare system will be utilized to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach in terms of clinical outcomes and the impact on employer costs.
