Occupational Health Program

Makovicka Physical Therapy Occupational Health Program–directed by Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist Chris Cameron, PT, DPT, OCS– works to unite the effort of our 19 clinic locations in the treatment of injured workers throughout Eastern Nebraska. In doing so, Chris is able to improve the treatment of injured workers and seamlessly transition them into Makovicka Physical Therapy’s Occupational Health Centers in Omaha and Lincoln in order to continue their treatment and expedite their return to work.

Using leading-edge documentation, Makovicka Physical Therapy is able to enhance communication with our referring physicians, case managers, and adjusters. By keeping everyone informed we are able to notify all involve parties sooner to further enhance the efficiency of treatment.
