Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation of NY & CT (PMR) offers chiropractic and physical therapy services alongside massage, acupuncture, pain management and physiatry, and diagnostic testing, all under one roof. Instead of juggling separate referrals, you follow one plan from a team that works together. Each of our two offices, in Danbury, CT and Brewster, NY, also has gym facilities and trainers on site, so the exercise part of your rehab happens with support.
How our chiropractic and physical therapy services work together
Whether you come in for chiropractic services, physical therapy or both, care starts with an evaluation of your history, symptoms, movement and strength. Your plan might pair chiropractic adjustments for a stiff back with physical therapy exercises and massage, then shift toward strength work in the gym as you improve. We favor non-surgical, drug-free care first and refer you to outside specialists when you need care beyond what we offer.
Core care
Chiropractic and physical therapy services sit at the center of most plans, supported by massage, acupuncture, physician care and sports medicine.
- Chiropractic care: adjustments, joint mobilization and soft-tissue work for back, neck and joint pain
- Physical therapy: therapeutic exercise and hands-on treatment to restore strength, motion and function after injury or surgery
- Medical massage therapy: targeted soft-tissue work, including trigger point therapy, to ease muscle tension
- Acupuncture: fine, sterile needles placed at specific points as part of a plan for pain
- Pain management and physiatry: physician-led evaluation and non-surgical care for complex or lasting pain
- Sports medicine and performance: injury care, rehab and return-to-sport training for athletes and active adults
Specialty treatments
These targeted treatments are added when they suit your condition and goals.
- Spinal decompression therapy: gentle traction on a DTS table for some neck and low back disc problems
- Shockwave therapy: radial pressure wave therapy for stubborn tendon and soft-tissue pain, offered at our Danbury and Brewster offices
- Cold laser therapy: low-level laser light applied over sore tissue, used alongside other care
- Vestibular rehab: exercise-based therapy for vertigo, dizziness and balance problems
- Dry needling: thin needles placed into tight muscle knots as part of a rehab plan
Diagnostics
On-site testing helps your team understand the problem before treatment starts.
- X-ray imaging: X-rays when your exam calls for a closer look at bones and joints
- EMG and nerve conduction testing: tests of nerve and muscle function that help explain numbness, tingling or weakness
