When an employee gets hurt on the job, the questions start right away: where should they go for care, what can they do at work, and when will you hear from the provider? Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation of NY & CT (PMR) provides work injury rehabilitation, including physical therapy, chiropractic care, physiatry and diagnostic testing, at two offices in Danbury, CT and Brewster, NY. This page is for employers, HR staff, adjusters and nurse case managers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We treat the injured worker and report factually on their care. We don\u2019t promise lower claim costs or a set return-to-work date, because recovery varies from person to person.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

How work injury rehabilitation at PMR works<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

PMR treats work-related musculoskeletal injuries such as lifting strains, neck and shoulder injuries, repetitive-strain problems and sprains from falls.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Early care<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Starting work injury rehabilitation soon after an injury lets the clinician record a baseline and begin an active plan while the problem is new.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A plan built around the job<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The evaluation covers how the injury happened and what the job physically requires. Occupational injury treatment may combine physical therapy<\/a>, chiropractic care, massage therapy and exercise in our on-site gym, aimed at the tasks the employee needs to return to.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Measured progress<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Re-evaluations recheck measures such as strength and range of motion, and the plan changes based on what they show. Workers compensation physical therapy at PMR is active care, built around exercise rather than rest alone.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n

\n \t\t\t

Work status updates and return-to-work communication<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clear updates help you plan staffing and help the adjuster manage the claim. PMR sends.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If your company has a return to work program or modified-duty options, share the details with us. The treating clinician can take those tasks into account when making work-status recommendations.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n

New York authorization and Connecticut medical care plans<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

New York requires Board authorization for any provider treating a comp patient, except in emergencies (WCB health care rules<\/a>). Our New York workers\u2019 compensation page<\/a> covers the state\u2019s other rules.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In Connecticut, if your company uses a medical care plan approved by the chairperson of the Workers\u2019 Compensation Commission, injured employees must use the plan\u2019s providers (CGS chapter 568<\/a>). See our Connecticut workers\u2019 compensation page<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n

When to call 911 instead<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Emergencies belong in the ER, not a rehab clinic. Call 911 or send the employee to the nearest emergency room for:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
