Expert Pain Management and Orthopedic Care for Injured Workers: 
Your L&I Partner at Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates

At Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates, we understand that a workplace injury doesn’t just disrupt your job—it can disrupt your entire life. That’s why we specialize in pain management, interventional pain procedures, and prompt orthopedic care for injured workers, proudly accepting Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I) claims.


Unlike many providers in the region, we are committed to guiding you through the L&I process while delivering advanced, compassionate care that targets the root of your pain and accelerates your recovery.



Specialized Pain Management for Workplace Injuries


Pain is often the most debilitating part of a workplace injury. Our pain management specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating both acute and chronic pain conditions resulting from job-related injuries. Whether you're suffering from back pain, joint pain, nerve damage, or repetitive strain injuries.


Benton Franklin Orthopedic Solutions offers:

  • Comprehensive pain evaluations.
  • Medication management tailored to your condition.
  • Physical therapy coordination.
  • Behavioral support for pain-related stress and anxiety.


Our goal is to reduce your pain, restore your function, and improve your quality of life—so you can return to work and daily activities with confidence.


Interventional Pain Procedures: Precision Relief


For patients who need more than conservative treatment, we offer interventional pain management—minimally invasive procedures that target pain at its source.


These include:

  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Nerve blocks
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Joint and trigger point injections
  • Spinal cord stimulation evaluations



These procedures are performed by board-certified specialists using advanced imaging guidance for maximum precision and safety. They’re often covered under L&I and can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for surgery or long-term medication use.


Prompt Orthopedic Care When It Matters Most


Timely treatment is critical after a workplace injury.


Our orthopedic team ensures you receive fast, expert care for:

  • Fractures and dislocations
  • Tendon and ligament injuries
  • Joint instability or degeneration
  • Work-related trauma and overuse injuries


We prioritize early diagnosisevidence-based treatment, and coordinated rehabilitation to help you heal quickly and safely. And because we understand the urgency of L&I cases, we offer expedited appointments for injured workers.


Your Advocate in the L&I System


Navigating L&I can be confusing—but you don’t have to do it alone.


We act as your advocate, working directly with your employer and L&I to ensure:

  • Your injury is properly documented
  • You receive the appropriate treatment and recovery time
  • Your return-to-work plan is safe and sustainable
  • All paperwork and communication are handled efficiently



We’re here to protect your health, your rights, and your future.
