Question - What types of insurance do you
accept?
Answer - We can normally bill all
insurances except: Blue Cross/Blue Shield,
Medicare, & any HMO's.
Workers compensation, auto insurances, PPO's
(Preferred Provider Organization), commercial
insurances (i.e. Travelers), & POS's (Point
of Service Insurance) will normally accept
our billing. b) We also offer cash payment
arrangements for patients without insurance
coverage. c) There is a payment scale for
cash paying patients who wish to have a
"massage" session that would
include such techniques as Cranio-Sacral
Therapy or Visceral Manipulation.
Question - What should I expect at my
physical therapy visits?
Answer - If you are a physical therapy
patient referred to us by a physician, you
will receive a comprehensive 60-90 minute
evaluation on your first visit. The results
of the P.T. evaluation will be used to design
an individualized treatment plan to address
your specific problems. Follow up visits,
lasting one hour, one to three times per week,
will consist of: assessment of your progress,
patient education (about what is causing your
pain), therapeutic exercises to help you
manage your pain symptoms, & gentle hands-on
manual therapy techniques. The manual
techniques will help balance your structure
& decrease your symptoms. You will be
able to increase your functional level with
less pain & discomfort. Treatment usually
lasts 4-8 weeks.
Question - What will the therapist do
to me?
Answer - The hands on portion of a
visit consists of mainly gentle touch
techniques (patient is usually fully clothed),
that will facilitate your body's tissues to
release abnormal tensions & restrictions.
The entire body & its interrelationships
will be assessed & treated. The
interconnected relationships of your
structure & various systems of the body
will always be considered. The mind-body
connection is vitally important also.
Knowledge is power. I will teach you as
much as you are willing to learn about your
anatomy, cause of your symptoms, & how to
manage them.
