How Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists assists in managing your
Workers' Compensation Injuries:

Our physicians provide appropriate medical advisement to an injured employee post initial care with our in house imaging services, ambulatory surgical center, physical therapy and return to work program provided by Temple Physical Therapy.

We are committed to maintaining an open line of communication for the injured worker, employer and WC carrier. Our serves as the direct point of contact for all workers’ compensation matters and will work with you to obtain your requests.

Our medical doctors are well educated on the effects that lost time can have on an employee. Therefore it is our goal at COS to reduce the amount of time an injured employee is removed from the work environment with effective medical treatment. As a standard practice our clerical staff forwards a copy of the work status note to the WC carrier and employer at the conclusion of each office visit.

COS is dedicated to providing a high quality of care to our patients. While at the same time decreasing the medical and lost time expenses that employers and WC carriers acquire; such as the overall claim costs and increased wages due to shift coverage and overtime.

See our three-step-process below:

We recently conducted a Worker's Compensation seminar featuring four of our physicians who regularly handle WC cases. Doctors John Beiner, Jack Kelley, Richard Diana and Rakesh Patel presented on diagnostic testing and pain management techniques and also participated in a panel discussion. Please check back at this web page for details on future events.

This program is for workers who no longer require manual physical therapy and who demonstrate decreased strength and endurance after prolonged inactivity. Our programs instill confidence in the worker's ability to perform core job functions by using real and/or simulated job activities to improve their biomechanical, neuro-muscular and cardiovascular functions.

We offer Work Hardening 5 days/ week & Work Conditioning 3 days/week. Every program is customized to the individual's specific needs to progress them through specific work tasks, including pushing, pulling, climbing, tool use, lifting, work postures, bending, carrying and stooping/crawling tasks.

Testimonial:

" I am writing on behalf of the' Work Hardening' program. I have been enrolled in this program for a month. The program and staff at Temple Physical Therapy have been excellent. I will admit that my first impression was that it would be a lot of hard physical work. I was not sure if I would be able to keep up, but with the help and guidance of the staff I was able to make great strides with my rehabilitation. I attribute my success thus far to Brian Hayes and Michael Cianciulli. They have helped me regain the use of my right arm and help me regain my confidence and strength to return to work. I highly recommend this program to anyone that needs to build not only strength but confidence to carry out their job duties upon returning to work ."
