If workers\u2019 compensation is delaying physical therapy in D.C., it can slow down your recovery and leave you stuck in pain longer than you should be. Physical therapy is often an important part of treatment after a serious work injury. When it does not get approved or scheduled, everything starts backing up.<\/p>\n
A lot of injured workers end up in the middle of the same mess. The doctor recommends physical therapy. The therapy office says it is waiting on approval. The insurance company says it needs more time, more records, or more review. Meanwhile, the injured worker is the one left waiting.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the insurance company says it needs more records before approving care. Other times, it says the treatment plan is still under review. Sometimes nothing moves and no one gives a clear answer.<\/p>\n
Physical therapy can help with pain, movement, strength, and getting back to work safely. When that treatment is delayed, healing can take longer.<\/p>\n
A delay in physical therapy can affect your recovery. If treatment is not moving, you may stay in pain longer, lose progress, and have a harder time getting back to work.<\/p>\n
