The Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER), with cooperation of the Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security, Division of Workers' Compensation, conducted an analysis of Florida's workers' compensation medical claims for back-related injuries. The analysis focused on the cost of treatment, frequency of compensable injuries (an injury which disables an individual for more than seven days, resulting in wage compensation benefits), and frequency of hospitalization for workers' compensation claim patient (end of reference).
