Most Cook County personal injury and workers' compensation cases resolve with chiropractic and physical therapy alone. The cases that don't — persistent radiculopathy, post-collision disc pain, complex post-surgical recovery — need a pain-management physician in the treatment plan. Injury Network Chicago coordinates those referrals.
Out of our Loop office at 10 S Riverside Plaza, our coordinators route clients to licensed pain-management physicians who routinely treat PI and WC cases, schedule interventional procedures, and feed treatment notes and procedure reports into the attorney's case file the day they post.
We are a coordination network — not a law firm and not a medical provider. Pain-management services are delivered by independently licensed physicians. Legal services, where referenced, are provided by independent attorneys.
What we coordinate
- Pain-management physician referrals when chiropractic / PT plateau
- Epidural steroid injections, facet injections, medial branch blocks, RFA — coordinated through in-network MDs
- Imaging coordination (MRI, CT) to support procedure planning
- Procedure-report routing to the attorney's paralegal within 24 hours of posting
- Per-provider billing ledger included in the closing records package
Frequently asked questions
When does a personal injury case need pain management?
When chiropractic and physical therapy alone are not producing sufficient functional recovery — typically 6 to 8 weeks into treatment for cervical or lumbar radiculopathy, persistent disc-related pain, or post-concussion syndrome — our coordinators route the client to a pain-management physician in network for evaluation and (where indicated) interventional procedures.
What procedures do in-network pain management physicians perform?
Epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, trigger point injections, and conservative medication management. Procedure selection is the physician's clinical judgment — our role is the coordination, not the treatment decision.
Will pain management add cost to a personal injury case?
Pain-management billing is included in the lien when the referring attorney's case is on lien. The closing records package includes a per-provider billing ledger so the firm can calculate net settlement clearly when the case resolves.
