New Medical Research to Benefit Worker’s Compensation

spinal cord | Gaylord & Nantais

Recent Research

When spongy tissue between the vertebrae is damaged, patients are diagnosed with herniated discs, which can be very painful, leading to numbness and weakness. Many times this condition is a result of workers lifting heavy or awkward objects, causing lower back pain. At the moment, conventional treatments for this back problem include physical therapy, prescription drugs and surgery.

The recent Berkeley experiment was based on simulating human tissue by growing cow tails in an algae-based gel. After the cells absorb nutrients, the gel becomes a platform for cells to thrive, growing the nucleus, which feeds the cell exterior. This new development may eventually provide an alternative to disc replacement.

Compensation Claim

Unfortunately, spinal disc work injuries can lead to such long-term medical care that insurance companies avoid covering them, making them among the hardest claims to get approved for workers’ compensation. Some of the problems involved with spinal disc injuries are, they are difficult to diagnose, prove and treat. It’s even more difficult for people with preexisting spinal issues. Experimental treatment is usually not covered by workers’ compensation, but may still be a viable solution.
