BWC Work Injury Chiropractor in Cleveland, Ohio
NEOH Functional Rehab treats injured workers in Cleveland, Ohio under Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation claims. The practice is led by Dr. Alex Frantzis, DC, a dual board-certified chiropractic physician and an Ohio BWC Designated Examining Physician. Injured workers can receive care at two Cleveland locations, Tremont Functional Rehab and Health at 2401 Scranton Rd and NorthCoast Rehab at 11201 Shaker Blvd, Ste 322. Treatment covers common work injuries including back and neck injuries, whiplash type strain, herniated discs, and soft tissue injuries.
Work injury symptoms and conditions treated
Work injuries happen in warehouses, on job sites, in health care settings, in offices, and on the road. Many of them involve the spine and the soft tissues, which is where chiropractic and rehab care applies. NEOH Functional Rehab evaluates and treats work related problems including:
- Back pain from lifting, twisting, or a fall at work
- Neck pain and stiffness after a work injury
- Whiplash type injuries from work related vehicle accidents
- Herniated discs connected to a workplace incident
- Soft tissue injuries involving muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Shoulder and upper back strain from job duties
- Reduced range of motion and weakness following an injury
Getting evaluated promptly matters in a BWC case. The evaluation establishes what was injured, and that record becomes part of how your claim is handled going forward.
What BWC work injury treatment involves
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your injury, your symptoms, and how the injury happened. Care at NEOH Functional Rehab may include chiropractic care and spinal adjustments, physical therapy to restore strength and movement, and massage therapy and other soft tissue therapies for injured muscles and connective tissue. Cold laser therapy and acupuncture are also among the services offered by the practice.
NEOH Functional Rehab is a multidisciplinary practice, so work injury care can draw on more than one service in the same office. The team includes chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, primary care, podiatry, and orthopedic and general surgery. A board-certified neurologist and functional neurology are among the providers. When a work injury involves more than one problem, that range of care is available in the practice, and progress is tracked visit by visit.

Documentation and coordination in BWC cases
A BWC claim runs on documentation. The Bureau of Workers Compensation, the managed care organization, and your employer all rely on medical records when decisions are made about your claim and your treatment. NEOH Functional Rehab documents your evaluation findings, your treatment, and your progress in a clear and consistent way throughout your case.
The practice coordinates with the parties involved in a workers compensation claim, including the insurer side of the case, so that records and updates are where they need to be. Accurate documentation supports your treatment plan, reflects how your injury is progressing, and keeps your case file complete. When you come in for your first visit, bring your claim information if you have it, along with the date of injury and any records from care you have already received.
