Need Physical Therapy and Have Medicare? Here’s what you need to know.
No Prescription? No Problem!

This is especially true for muscle and soft tissue injuries. For example, you may have spent the weekend moving boxes. Now your back hurts. In many cases, that pain is caused by a muscle strain. Fortunately, muscle strains often respond very well to physical therapy.By coming directly to physical therapy, you skip an extra step. As a result, you can begin recovering sooner. You also avoid unnecessary appointments for many simple injuries.
Will My Doctor Be Informed?
Yes. During your first visit, your physical therapist will complete a thorough evaluation. They will also create a personalized treatment plan.Next, we send a report to your family doctor or another healthcare provider you choose. This keeps everyone involved in your care informed. In addition, your doctor can recommend medication, imaging, or further testing if needed.
