Trigger points are knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Headaches, neck stiffness, carpal tunnel type symptoms, tennis elbow, bursitis, frozen shoulder, back pain, low back stiffness, sciatica, and shin splints can all benefit from trigger point therapy.
Our doctors are skilled at locating and easing the pain from these trigger points. We apply pressure on the area causing the points to relax and release. We will show you stretches and exercises to do at home that will aid in healing and management.
Our doctors may also perform injections combined with manual modalities to speed up the healing process.

During pregnancy your posture, center of gravity, and body mass changes as the fetus develops. There is also a loosening of the ligaments, which hold the bones together, especially where the pelvis and spine connect. The average weight gain of 25 to 35 pounds, combined with the increased stress placed on the body by the baby, can sometimes result in severe discomfort.
Chiropractic care is a drugless way to relieve back pain and other symptoms that occur during pregnancy. Studies show that chiropractic is safe for mother and child, controls back pain, shorten labor, and can even help women get pregnant.
Even before you become pregnant, a chiropractor can help. They will be able to properly assess your body and diagnose any already existing imbalances in your pelvis or elsewhere that may increase your discomfort during pregnancy.
Additionally, they can detect factors in your skeletal structure that may lead to problems after you give birth.
After pregnancy, your chiropractor can treat you to help ensure that stretched out joints and loosened ligaments get back to their proper places

During a child’s formative years the spine is at its most vulnerable. Even before birth a baby’s head, neck, and back is placed under a lot of stress as it moves within the womb. This trauma is often further increased during the birth process. Treatment can consist of a series of gentle adjustments to the parts of the spine which are misaligned, as we would begin to remove any nerve stress and return the body to a state of ‘willingness’. Our Doctors may also give you nutritional and postural advice.
As your child grows, everyday playing, athletics, and the stress of growing and life can all lead to subluxation in your child’s spine. This may lead to a lowered resistance to illness and can result in poor function in the body’s natural healing process.
This is why a spinal check-up should be part of a yearly examination schedule. Prevention is key to a healthy and happy existence.

I have suffered for 10 years due to a tail bone injury, unable to sit. I have been in therapy here for the last 5 months, and I am finally sitting at the dinner table with my family, driving myself to and from places. I can not thank this team enough for their hard work , dedication and care! I have freedoms I thought I’d never see again in my lifetime! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

These people are the only reason I can walk right now. After two wrong guesses from my previous doctor a member of there staff here, Dr. Craig Tilden, was able to not only quickly identify the real cause of my pain but actually took the time to run the test and then sit down and explain his reasoning to me. It has since been two weeks and I have seen remarkable improvement. The entire staff has been caring and professional and clearly work well together. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone in the area looking for top notch care.

I came here for prescribed PT for whiplash, and I have to say that the whole PMR team is great. Chris, Paul, Phil, and Ron all put effort into my recovery and I can't thank them enough.

I started seeing PMR about a year ago. I was in extremely bad back pain. It hurt to walk. My husband had come here and suggested going in to see if I could gain relief.I found out through X-rays completed in the office, I had disc issues. I left crying thinking my back would never feel better.I started seeing PMR twice a week and little by little through their coarse of treatment my back started feeling so much better. I am so grateful for this office and the relief I am feeling.I still come twice a month and always look forward to my appointments. My back always feels amazing when I leave. And I enjoy the benefits regular chiropractic care provides. In addition to a few other things I am doing, this is the first fall I have not suffered from seasonal allergies. I have heard regular adjustments can help.I highly recommend this office. I can’t express how thankful I am for finding an incredible office that provides not only adjustments, but so much more to help with a variety of issues. If you’re looking for a chiropractor, thus is a great office to see.

There is only one way to describe this place; FANTASTIC!The therapists are incredible. The are very knowledgeable and empathetic. I was going to PT for 5 months for what I thought was a minor injury. They stuck by me the entire process and never gave up on me. Now, I’m finally all better.The rest of the staff are also awesome; from the receptionist to the head Dr. Everyone knew me by first name. The staff was always incredibly cheerful and welcoming.I’ve had a knee surgery, two back surgeries, and countless other sports related injuries. I know physical therapy offices because I have been to a lot.These guys are simply the best. Do yourself a favor and go there.

After my ACL repair, I had specific goals to return to normal activities and eventually return to skiing. Dr. Tilden and therapists Laura Unson and Natalia Glenn crafted sessions that were very effective in my recovery. Just as important to me, they constantly emphasized safety during the sessions and in the recommendations for activities between sessions. I have been very satisfied.

I can't say enough good things about Northeast PMR. They not only have some of the best staff and equipment, the facultiy is extremely clean. Northeast PMR staff are always willing to accommodate my schedule and fit me in on short notice. I have had issues with my neck for years and after only a few adjustments I feel great, no more headaches as well as a massive reduction in tingling sensation down my arm to my fingers. I highly recommend Northeast PMR any chiropractic care as well as physical therapy and rehab.

I found Danbury PMR through my search of the best therapy & rehabilitation in the Danbury, CT area.In my initial counsel with Craig Tilden. I indicted the level of pain I was experiencing in my knees, and it looked like I was possibly headed toward knee surgery. Therapy & rehabilitation was my only remaining option. He indicated that he thought his team could help me.There was a complete examine of the current condition, and then immediate work started on the therapy required to strengthen, and create more flexibility to the impacted areas.I was paired primarily with Lara from Craig's Team, who worked with me on a number movements, strengthening techniques, and flexibility exercises. She showed her knowledge in combining a number exercises and movements to get me the maximum benefit for my condition.My current results from the treatments far exceeds my expectations, and knee surgery is nowhere in sight.The entire team at the office is patient focused and work very well as a team. From Deb (scheduling/appt.) to post treatment after you training sessions.I strongly recommend the team to anyone for their treatment needs.Thank You !!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! For background: I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis on and off for years. By February 2020, the pain was unbearable and I started going for PT in late Feb. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with everyone in the office. I was told the recovery was going to take months (they were honest and no sugar coating), and it was important to stick with the treatment and exercises. It is now July , and I can honestly say that I am almost 100% recovered, and feel great. This I attribute to the quality care I received at Danbury Physical Medicine. I feel like I ran the gamut of services, starting with Ultrasound to diagnosis the severity of the condition, to weekly acupuncture, to exercises, heat and cold treatment, and massage. All of these services were performed with care and purpose. I was in such pain that I needed to go through the COVID lockdown. Here is where the office excelled: they were extremely conscious of maintaining a safe and sterile environment. Social distancing and masks and gloves were required. The staff were constantly wiping down equipment. I had no concerns around my health and safety in the office. Scheduling was easy and Deb on the front desk is super friendly and accommodating. If I could give 6 stars I would!

The gang at DPMR have been my life savers!No need for cortisone shots with their awesome traction table!. That medievalDevice is very helpful. The private care rooms are a plus.

I have been coming to this facility for over 8 years due to injuries from working in a physically demanding and dangerous profession. They have helped me to recover from multiple surgeries with all the modalities offered. The staff is friendly, helpful and more than accommodating. The doctors really care as they spend time listening and problem solving. They have specialists who do acupuncture, trigger point injections, massage, chiropractic, physical therapy, stem and traction. Not to mention ultra sound and x-rays are offered on site.I really can't say enough about the treatment I have recieved, however my loyalty is pushing on a decade so that should speak for it's self. It's been a long journey healing and as I get closer to feeling like myself again, I plan to remain a patient for maintenance care in the years to come.Thank you to everyone at Danbury Physical Medicine for your diligence and dedication to my health.

Wonderful care and facility! I see Dr. Christopher Shay and my upper back pain / neck pain has reduced tremendously in the past month. They provide insight on how to treat your existing illnesses with acupuncture and other alternative medicines that they provide on site. The whole place doesn’t give you that “doctors office” feel, but more of a sports medicine / relaxed place of healing which is what I first took note on. The staff is very welcoming, especially the receptionist Maria! 😁

Car accidents are the worst things!But having a place to go to that helps you recover, physically (and mentally at times when frustrated), I’m so happy with all of my care. From traction on my neck to my adjustments and massages I feel so great when I leave.I’ve come a long way since my accident last November and a I owe it all to Craig and his extraordinary staff. I even have gotten accupuncture there and trigger shots from the MD that is on staff.I can’t say enough positive things.You need healing... this is your place!

What an incredible staff , everyone is so nice and helpful. I was told I would need surgery and after Dr Tilden treated me I felt amazing . The physical therapy dept is also very knowledgeable Dr Mike and Laura worked on my hip replacement and had me walking painfree in no time. I have been with at least a dozen physical therapy offices in the area and none took care of me as well as Danbury PMR and cant forget Dr Joe if your nerves about chiropractic adjustment this man will take all the fears away
