TRUMBULL, CT--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2015) - Can "disruptive" solutions find success in the 100-year old workers' comp industry? On June 10^th a panel of workplace injury experts will discuss fresh approaches for managing today's out-of-control volume of Workers' Compensation cases.

Experts from the insurance, pain management, employer and cost containment sectors will present a "state of the industry" as well as discuss innovative strategies to help employees get well and back to work more quickly and cost-effectively.

The goal of the panel is to focus on innovative, evidence-based interventions that actually treat and resolve the underlying injuries, while also being easy to prescribe by the physician and cost-effective for the insurance provider. 

According to panel moderator, Michael Shor, of Best Doctors Occupational Health Institute, "Traditional treatments such as pain masking drugs and devices that are not sustainable can lead to comorbidities like addiction to narcotics and depression, setting the stage for breakthrough ideas and solutions."

The event is hosted by ZetrOZ, Inc., a progressive, drug-free medical device company that recently launched its second award-winning bioregenerative and pain management device utilizing sustained acoustic medicine.

"By developing a creative new treatment dynamic for patients, providers and payers, we can make Workers' Compensation work better," says ZetrOZ, Inc.
