Can physical therapy help me?

If your pain or limitations hinder or prevent you from engaging in daily activities, participating in sports or performing your job, we can definitely improve the situation! The goal of physical therapy is to enable you to recover your physical capacities so you can resume all your normal activities. To accomplish this, our physical therapists rely on manual techniques, exercises, dry needling (similar to acupuncture) and Kinesio taping (the application of special tape on specific parts of the body).

What specifically can a physical therapist treat?

Physical therapists are qualified professionals who can help you develop a personalized exercise program that will improve your quality of life. They can treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, problems with tendons and nerves, swelling, dizziness, numbness, headaches and even jaw problems! If you have questions or concerns, our team is always happy to advise you.

How do I make an appointment?

You don’t need a medical referral to schedule a consultation with us. You can call the clinic directly and make an appointment to see one of our physical therapists right away.

Is physical therapy covered by my insurance?

If you’re enrolled in a group insurance plan, it’s very likely that your physical therapy sessions will be covered. However, since there are different types of coverage, it’s recommended that you check with your insurance provider to confirm the details.

What are the treatments like?

The first appointment with your therapist will generally last one hour and will be devoted to evaluating your situation. The physical therapist will identify your problems and clarify your expectations with regard to the treatment. This meticulous evaluation will allow the therapist to present you with a personalized treatment plan to improve your condition. The following treatment sessions will be devoted to putting that treatment plan into practice. The physical therapist will proceed with manual mobilization and manipulation techniques. Kinesio taping and dry needling techniques may be used, as well. Your professional will also teach you certain exercises and offer you advice so you can continue your treatment between sessions.
