Workers’ Compensation Orthopedic Care in Spartanburg, Greenville & Duncan, SC

When a workplace injury occurs, fast and accurate medical care is essential for recovery and a safe return to work. Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurological Associates (CONA) provides specialized workers’ compensation orthopedic care for patients with musculoskeletal injuries resulting from workplace accidents, repetitive strain, heavy lifting, slips and falls, and overuse.

Our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, and physical therapists work together to diagnose and treat work-related injuries efficiently while communicating closely with case managers and employers to support a smooth workers’ compensation process.

We understand that injured workers need more than pain relief—they need clarity, documentation, and a safe path back to functional movement. Our team is experienced in treating work injuries involving the spine, shoulders, knees, hands, wrists, and other joints and soft tissues. Whether your injury developed suddenly from an accident or gradually over time due to repetitive motion, our goal is to accurately determine the cause of pain, develop the most appropriate treatment plan, and help patients return to work safely and confidently.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

Work injuries are evaluated with a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or nerve studies, depending on symptoms. Identifying the exact nature of the injury ensures treatment is targeted and appropriate for the job tasks required. Our physicians provide clear and thorough documentation, including initial evaluation reports, work status notes, and progress updates, supporting transparency and communication throughout the workers’ compensation process.

Personalized Work Injury Treatment Plans

Treatment may include medication management, structured physical therapy, bracing or support devices, activity modification, manual therapy techniques, or interventional pain management such as injection therapy when needed. If surgery is the most effective option, our fellowship-trained orthopaedic and neurosurgical specialists provide advanced surgical care designed to restore strength, mobility, and joint function. Rehabilitation focuses not only on healing but on preventing reinjury when employees return to work.

We prioritize safe recovery timelines and collaborate with employers to determine temporary or long-term work restrictions when necessary. The goal is always to help patients return to work safely and efficiently, without aggravating the original injury.

Streamlined Workers’ Compensation Coordination

Our workers’ compensation team works directly with employers, insurance carriers, attorneys, and case managers to ensure smooth communication and timely reporting. We understand the importance of accurate documentation, reliable follow-up, and accessible scheduling. Appointments are offered promptly, and urgent work injury evaluations can be accommodated quickly, minimizing delays in care and claim approval.

Supporting Recovery and Return to Work

Returning to work is part of the healing process. At CONA, we support patients through every step—from initial diagnosis to rehabilitation and ongoing strengthening—to help them return to work with confidence. Our focus is on restoring functional ability, reducing pain, and supporting long-term musculoskeletal health.
