Frequently Asked Questions
Is a doctor's referral required?
Referral not required. You can schedule independently to our treatment modalities without medical prescription. However, if you're submitting claims, check your coverage details.
When should I schedule my first appointment after injury?
Schedule as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can allow acute inflammation to progress to chronic pain patterns. PIP benefits require two-week treatment initiation of an auto accident to maintain PIP benefits.
Will I need X-rays or MRI?
Advanced testing follows specific protocols based on examination findings, trauma details, or lack of expected progress. We maintain referral relationships with area diagnostic facilities for rapid appointment access.
How long will treatment take?
Acute soft tissue injuries typically require 6-12 weeks of therapeutic intervention. Complicated injuries with nerve involvement or multiple injury sites may require three to four months. Long-standing problems need extended care periods due to neuroplastic changes in pain processing.
Can I transfer from another provider?
We accept mid-treatment transitions and will gather historical medical information to ensure seamless care progression.
