What To Expect At Your First Appointment
- When you arrive at our office, you will register at the front desk. They will help you with the insurance process so you can focus on getting better as soon as possible.
- After that, you will have your initial evaluation with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy. We will ask about your medical history, present pain, ailment, or injury during your evaluation. Try to be as honest as possible; open communication helps us better understand your issue and find the best solution for you!
- During your appointment, your movement, strength, coordination, and other factors will be evaluated. Our goal is to assist you, so please let our Doctor of Physical Therapy know if anything hurts or bothers you during the examination!
- Following your evaluation, our Doctor of Physical Therapy will recommend and prepare a personalized treatment plan to ensure the fastest recovery and best results. On the first day, some treatments will be administered to get you started on the road to recovery. During your next visit, however, you will be able to fully implement your treatment plan.
- Our Doctor of Physical Therapy will document their findings and treatment plan, which will be given to your referring physician or another medical expert of your choice.
- You will plan a series of visits at the front desk when your first appointment is completed. The number of treatment sessions required will be determined by the recommendation of our Doctor of Physical Therapy and will be discussed with you at your first appointment.
