Enhance Employee Wellbeing with Care Connections by Fulcrum Health Program

Physical medicine can significantly benefit employees in various ways.

1. Less Invasive & Efficient: Physical medicine is a non-surgical, non-invasive approach to managing musculoskeletal pain. It focuses on alleviating pain and preserving function without resorting to invasive procedures or medications.
2. Reduced Medication Usage: Conservative management often avoids prescriptions, which may be addictive and lead to dependency.
3. Faster Relief, Lower Costs: Chiropractic care, for example, may provide faster relief for moderate pain at a lower cost compared to pharmaceutical prescriptions.

Fulcrum network providers are vetted through a credentialing process prior to acceptance into the network.  We also provide service monitoring, coaching to best- evidence practice, and review for fraud waste and abuse.

Physical medicine is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and licensed provider. For example, chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustments and manipulations to improve musculoskeletal function and alleviate pain. However, here are some important points to consider:

1. Individual Assessment: Providers assess each patient individually to determine the most appropriate treatment. They consider medical history, physical examination, and any contraindications.
2. Risks and Benefits: Like any medical intervention, there may be potential risks (e.g., muscle soreness, minor discomfort) and benefits (e.g., pain relief, improved mobility).
3. Communication: Openly discuss your symptoms, concerns, and any pre-existing conditions with your provider. They can tailor the treatment accordingly.
4. Avoid High-Risk Situations: Certain conditions (e.g., osteoporosis, spinal fractures, inflammatory arthritis) may require caution or alternative approaches.
