The goal of Dr. Steven Valentino and the team at Liberty Spine Care is to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of those with on-the-job back injury, neck injury or other work-related spine problems.
We understand that when an employee has a back or neck pain problem, the employer and the workers compensation insurance company have a vested interest in the outcome of the patient’s care. This requires a strong communication link between the spine care team, the patient, the employer, the workers compensation company and the case manager who has the responsibility of ensuring that the worker gets the best possible medical care.
We recognize that work-related injury, like an injured professional athlete, requires the spine care provider to compress the diagnosis and treatment of the injured employee to speed the recovery and return to activity and the job, if possible.
From the moment we receive a referral of a work-related back or neck problem, our spine care team is focused on getting the patient into the spine center quickly, so that diagnostics can be performed to determine what may be causing the pain symptoms and develop a sequential treatment plan.
