What Exactly is a
FREE
Screening?
First let us assure you
that we WILL NOT be giving you the sales pitch
when you arrive to book a series of
appointments. In fact, we will probably
not even book any follow-up appointments for you
until you have had a chance to take our findings
to your physician and get their opinion as
well. As you will see in the description
below, our intention is to do everything we can
to put you on the right track to help your
condition. If that means referring you to
someone else, that is exactly what we will do.
When you book your
screening we will send you a pre first visit
package that will include forms that you can
fill out to help us determine how we can help
you with your condition.
Our receptionist will help
you complete any sections of the form you have
questions about and take them to start your file
and notify your physical therapist that you have
arrived.
After looking over your
forms the Physical therapist will ask you some
clarifying questions about your condition, find
out what other treatment options you have
explored or tried in the past and evaluate what
you felt your results or benefits were with this
treatment.
You will then go through a
series of tests (don't worry, it won't hurt)
specific to your condition to determine the
specific cause of your condition and what the
best course of treatment would be.
The therapist will then
discuss their findings with you and make
recommendations for dealing with your
condition. If they feel that you would
benefit from physical therapy, you will be
referred to either your physician or if you
prefer a physician that we deal with on a
regular basis for further assessment. We
can make a call at the end of your screening to
book the appointment for you if you
wish.
(if you do not want to see
an MD about this condition, please inform our
staff and we can make arrangements for your
treatment without a physician's
referral)
We then send a letter to
the physician informing them of our referral,
findings and recommendations so they are fully
aware of your situation before you arrive.
If the physician agrees
with our diagnosis that physical therapy can
help they will generally write you a
prescription for physical therapy that you can
use for insurance purposes.
Before you leave we will
give you any information we have on your
condition to help you understand your treatment
options better.
If you feel that our
office is where you would like to have your
physical therapy then all you need to do is give
us a call after seeing your physician to book
your first appointment.
