FAQ

Yes, insurance carriers require us to have a referral or prescription from a referring physician in order to cover the cost of physical therapy. If you are a cash pay patient, a referral or prescription may not be needed.

At your first visit, your physical therapist will conduct a comprehensive initial evaluation, including taking a health history, and creating an individualized plan of care based on your needs and goals. Please wear comfortable clothing as we may begin treatment that may include manual therapy and/or a home exercise program. You should be prepared to stay for approximately an hour. 

Your initial evaluation will last approximately 60 minutes, while follow up visits will last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the nature of your Plan of Care. 

The frequency and number of visits will depend on the prescription from your referring physician as well as ongoing recommendations from your Physical Therapist in order to maximize your outcomes with therapy. The majority of patients attend therapy 1-3 times per week with the duration of care lasting anywhere from 2-8 weeks (occasionally longer if indicated) depending on what you are being seen for.

Dry needling is a technique utilized to promote blood flow and healing response to tight and/or restricted muscle tissue.  The technique utilizes acupuncture type needles and may be recommended as an adjunct treatment to your Plan of Care to maximize mobility, pain relief, and outcomes with therapy treatment.

We accept a wide range of insurances. Please contact us to see if we are contracted with your insurance provider.

Please wear something comfortable and non-restrictive like a loose fitting t-shirt and pants/shorts, or athletic wear, as well as athletic shoes. It’s also a good idea to wear something that gives us access to the particular part of your body we are treating, if possible (ex. if we are working on your knee, try to wear shorts). You are welcome to bring your clothes with you and change upon arrival. Please allow a few extra minutes prior to your visit should you need to change onsite.
