How do I know if physical therapy can help my condition?

If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or recovering from surgery or injury, physical therapy can likely help. We treat everything from acute injuries to chronic conditions like arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and post-surgical recovery. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific condition and create a personalized treatment plan just for you. Bottom line: If pain is limiting your daily activities, we can help.

Do you accept my insurance?

Yes! We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Horizon BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, and many more. We'll verify your benefits before your first visit and explain exactly what's covered. No surprise bills!

How long will my treatment take?

Most patients see significant improvement within 2-4 weeks, with full recovery typically taking 6-12 weeks. However, every case is different. Factors that affect recovery time include severity of your condition, how long you've had the problem, your overall health and fitness level, and your commitment to the treatment plan. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your first visit.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes: comprehensive evaluation (45–60 minutes), movement and strength assessment, pain level evaluation, personalized treatment plan creation, insurance verification and explanation, and your first treatment session. You'll leave knowing exactly what's wrong, how we'll fix it, and when you can expect to feel better.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

New Jersey allows direct access to physical therapy, so NO referral is needed for most conditions. You can schedule directly with us and start treatment immediately. Exception: Some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. We'll check your specific benefits and help you get any necessary referrals if needed.

Will I need surgery or medications?

In most cases, NO! Our goal is to help you avoid surgery and reduce dependence on pain medications through proven, non-invasive treatments. We use advanced manual therapy techniques, shockwave therapy, targeted exercise programs, and movement re-education. Many patients who were told they needed surgery have avoided it completely with our treatment.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Same day appointments are often available! We understand that pain doesn't wait for convenient times. We offer same day appointments for urgent cases, evening appointments until 7 PM, Saturday appointments, and flexible scheduling to fit your life. Call (973) 689-7123 and we'll get you in as soon as possible.

What makes Spectrum Therapeutics different from other PT clinics?

Three key differences: One-on-one attention – You'll always work with a licensed therapist, never an aide. Advanced technology – We use cutting-edge treatments like shockwave therapy. Proven results – 25+ years of experience with over 10,000 successful recoveries. We don't just treat symptoms – we fix the root cause so your pain doesn't come back.

Is Shockwave Therapy covered by insurance?

No, shockwave therapy is not covered by insurance. However, we offer affordable out-of-pocket pricing and treatment packages to make it accessible for everyone. Simple pricing with no surprises.

How fast will I feel results from Shockwave Therapy?

Most patients feel noticeable relief after just 1–3 sessions. For lasting results, 4–6 sessions are typically recommended depending on your condition. Fast relief with long-term healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can physical therapy fix tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow?

Yes. Targeted therapy reduces inflammation, restores tendon strength, and corrects movement patterns. Most cases resolve without injections or surgery.

How long does recovery usually take?

Recovery typically takes 6–8 weeks. Patients often notice improvement in grip strength and pain reduction within the first few sessions.

What if I’ve already tried PT or bracing and it didn’t help?

Not all PT approaches are the same. At Spectrum Therapeutics, you work one-on-one with Dr. Rob Letizia, Doctor of Physical Therapy. Advanced manual therapy, shockwave treatment, and specific loading programs are used when generic care fails.
