Welcoming All Clients

If you are not getting better as quickly as expected, or feel you need someone to take a closer look at what might be causing your symptoms, you can request to be seen by a specialist at Ascent Pain & Injury Specialists. Ask your primary occupational medicine doctor to make this referral. You will receive the highest quality care while minimizing your time off of work.
