Work Comp and Sports Medicine
Though you may not believe that workers compensation and sports medicine have anything in common, the two could not be more alike.
The injured worker has a set of specific goals in mind: fix the injury and get back to work as soon as possible.
The injured athlete's goals: fix the injury and and get back to playing as soon as possible.
When thinking in those terms, the process is not too different. And who better to treat an injured worker than someone who has dealt with sports injuries. Whether the injury is the knee, elbow or shoulder, work comp or sports-injury related, you can rely on Diveris Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to assist you with your orthopedic needs.

Maximum functional restoration and return to work/ sports healthy lifestyle for our patients
At DOSM, we not only treat the injury, but we also treat the patient. With a goal of maximum functional restoration, our hope is to get patients back to work functioning at their best capability. In addition, we work with athletes ensuring that they are living a sports healthy lifestyle, to ensure maximum recovery. Functional restoration uses goal-oriented treatment approaches with post-operative rehabilitation, sports medicine and chronic pain. Physical and occupational therapy is included within the treatment approaches, and along with pain management when necessary.
Returning to work is not only the goal of the patient, but it is a goal of DOSM. Implementing a sports healthy lifestyle, and getting the patient back to work is what the staff at DOSM strives to accomplish.
