No. DC allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book an evaluation without a referral from a doctor. If your insurance plan wants a note from a physician, we track it down so it does not hold up your care.

Every plan is different, so we check yours rather than guess. Send us your details and the benefits check is free: we verify your coverage and call you with your actual cost before you book anything. If we are not a good fit for your coverage, we will tell you that straight. You can also start with the free 30-minute Discovery Session and decide afterward, and self-pay rates are available if you would rather skip insurance entirely.

Usually not, and waiting for one is how months disappear. Hands-on testing and watching how you move find the cause in most cases, and scans often show changes that are not the thing hurting you. If your case does need imaging or an orthopedic opinion, we will say so and point you to the right person. Bring any scan you already have and we will read it with you.

The right exercise, dosed correctly, calms pain down. The wrong exercise off a generic sheet is why a lot of people arrive here worse than when they started. Everything you do is chosen for your body, watched in the room, and changed on the spot if it does not feel right. Phase one is about settling things down, not pushing through.

You get a plan with an endpoint, not a punch card. Your evaluation runs about an hour, and you leave it knowing what is wrong, what the four phases look like for you, and what has to happen before you graduate. We reassess as we go, so the plan follows your progress instead of a template. If you are ahead of schedule, you finish sooner. Being done is the goal.

Wear something you can move in. Shorts help for a knee or a hip, a tank top or a loose tee for a shoulder or a neck. The hour itself is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every minute of it: your history, a full movement assessment, hands-on treatment in that first hour, and the plan explained before you leave.

Fair question, and it is usually the model, not you. Rotating aides and a printed sheet is not treatment. Here it is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit, hands on, with a cause-first evaluation instead of a category your pain gets filed under. You get a plan with an endpoint and clear graduation criteria, so you always know why you are doing what you are doing, and when you are done.
