Why musculoskeletal care should be a strategic priority
Most employers track workers’ compensation closely, but few have visibility into total musculoskeletal spend across both work-related and personal medical claims.
What often goes unseen:
- Employees delay care until pain becomes severe
- Work injuries shift into personal medical claims
- Personal medical claims shift into workers’ compensation
- Minor issues escalate into high-cost treatment
In 2024, musculoskeletal care became one of the top healthcare spending categories nationwide and costs continue to rise. Without a coordinated strategy to manage MSK care, your organization may be exposed to unnecessary expenses. Parkview Employer Solutions offers the following services to help address this growing challenge - proactive injury care and workers' compensation care.
Proactive injury care
Traditional injury care reacts after someone gets hurt, but Parkview Employer Solutions Proactive Injury Care takes a preventative approach by addressing musculoskeletal conditions before they escalate into costly claims. The program focuses on common cases such as day-to-day workplace injuries, repetitive tasks, discomfort or injuries among new hires adjusting to their roles, non-work-related complaints that could develop into work-related injuries, and chronic conditions within an aging workforce. Our approach helps with these issues in two ways:
Early intervention
Our experienced physical therapists provide OSHA first-aid focused care to treat issues quickly and effectively, including:
- Massage
- Taping
- Non-rigid support
- Over-the-counter medication guidance
- Ice and heat therapy
Long-term prevention
We help you create a comprehensive safety program for your company, building healthier habits that reduce the risk of future injuries with a variety of programs:
- Onboarding education and safety training

Workers' compensation care
When an employee is injured on the job, speed, coordination, and clarity matter.
