Workers' Compensation Care in Kansas City

Workers’ Compensation Care in Overland Park, Kansas

Injured on the job in Johnson County? Core Medical Center delivers physician-directed evaluation, treatment and the documentation your Kansas workers’ compensation claim depends on, all coordinated in one Overland Park office. We treat injured workers across the Kansas side of the Greater Kansas City metro from our clinic at 10520 Barkley, Suite 120, near Oak Park Mall and minutes from Overland Park Regional Medical Center and AdventHealth Shawnee Mission.

In short: a Kansas workers’ compensation doctor diagnoses your work injury, sets a treatment plan, and writes the duty-status notes and objective reports your claim needs, from your first visit through your return to the job.

What We Handle for Your Kansas Work Injury

• Examine and diagnose your on-the-job injury under physician direction
• Produce the objective findings, treatment notes and work-restriction documentation a Kansas claim requires
• Run physical therapy, work conditioning and rehabilitation in the same Overland Park building
• Communicate directly with your adjuster, case manager and employer
• Map a safe, well-documented return to full or modified duty

Because our medical, chiropractic, physical therapy and rehabilitation teams work from one Johnson County location, your treatment and your paperwork move together. That keeps the time between the injury and a clear path back to work as short as it can be.

Who We See in Johnson County

Overland Park and the surrounding Kansas suburbs run on warehousing, logistics, healthcare, construction, retail, office and driving jobs, and each one carries its own injury profile. Whether you were hurt in a single instant, like a slip on a dock or a fall from a ladder, or your symptoms built slowly from repetitive motion, we begin with a careful exam and a straight answer about what comes next.

If your circumstances point toward a different kind of claim, we can help you sort it out. Read our Workers’ Comp vs. Personal Injury Claims comparison, and if your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, our personal injury doctor service in Overland Park covers that route.

Injuries and Conditions We Treat

Work injuries we frequently evaluate in Overland Park include:

• Back pain and herniated disc from heavy lifting, twisting and falls
• Sciatica and radiating nerve pain that makes standing or sitting a problem
• Neuropathy and repetitive-strain complaints in the wrists, hands and shoulders
• Whiplash and neck strain from sudden impacts and on-site accidents
• Knee, shoulder and ankle injuries that call for rehabilitation before full duty

Your provider links each diagnosis to the right combination of medical care, physical therapy, work conditioning and, where appropriate, injection options, so your plan reflects what your specific job actually demands of your body.

Why Injured Kansas Workers Choose Core Medical Center

Your care carries physician oversight from Dr. Aston Goldsworthy, DC, MSN, FNP-BC, our founder, whose practice centers on occupational and injury medicine.
