Musculoskeletal disorders have become an extreme financial burden to corporations, governments, and patients. To the tune of over a half a TRILLION dollars.
These issues are one of the top 5 expenses for Fortune 500 employers and in the top three expenses for group health plans and worker’s compensation.
Musculoskeletal disorders lead to chronic conditions and those who suffer are more likely to experience drug addiction, chronic pain, frequent absenteeism from work, lower quality of life, obesity, cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, and diabetes. The overall impact of musculoskeletal and chronic pain continues to grow and is staggering.
Musculoskeletal conditions are so prominent, over 90% of the world’s population will suffer at some point in their lifetime.

While we focus on the treatment of musculoskeletal care we believe there are 3 pillars for creating the most effective strategy.
Musculoskeletal Care
Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading expense in corporate healthcare plans, by streamlining treatment of these conditions you can lower your overall healthcare costs. Healthcare premiums have been rising by 5-8% a year for over a decade. Many employers try to reduce this cost by passing more of the burden to the employee through higher deductibles or a greater share of the plan premium expense. While this can alleviate some of the cost to the corporation, it does not solve the problem. The best way to reduce healthcare costs is to implement a system that stops the issue quickly and early on before the costs and condition escalate out of control.
Plan Design Strategies
Just like a 3-legged table, your healthcare strategy is not stable if one leg is broken or non-existent. Plan design is the third leg of a successful healthcare strategy aimed to reduce expenses and improve health. Synergy Corporate Solutions through collaborating with industry leaders can assist in completing the triad of a successful healthcare plan.
Education and Prevention
The best defense is often a great offense. This is key to exceptional employee performance. Healthier employees perform better, are happier at the office and at home and reduce costs. Preventive healthcare programs can help prevent musculoskeletal conditions, chronic conditions, and lead to reduced healthcare expenses.
