Injury & Recovery
Work Injuries & Workers' Comp
An injury at work can cost you days on the job and months of pain if it is not treated. Work injury physical therapy in Commack, NY at Sunshine Physical Therapy treats the injury, and the practice lists workers’ compensation among the insurance it accepts.
Common injuries from work
Most work injuries come from repetition, lifting or one bad moment.
Back strains and lifting injuries
The most common. See back pain.
Repetitive strain
Tendon and nerve problems in the arm. See elbow pain and carpal tunnel.
Shoulder and neck injuries
From overhead work or desk work. See shoulder pain and neck pain.
Slips and falls
Sprains, strains and fractures that need rehab.
How workers’ comp physical therapy works
If you were injured at work, workers’ compensation may cover your physical therapy (workers comp physical therapy, or workers compensation PT). Bring your claim number and your adjuster’s contact information when you call, and we will explain what authorization is needed. Rules vary, so call us at the number on this page before your first visit.
We talk with employers, adjusters and case managers as your care allows, and we help plan your return to work, including light duty, and teach lifting and body mechanics, job-specific task training and ergonomics to prevent re-injury.
