Do I need a doctor's referral for physical therapy in New Jersey?

No. New Jersey law allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule an appointment without a prescription or referral from your doctor. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage—we verify this when you call.

What insurance does Spectrum Therapeutics accept?

We are in-network with most major insurance plans including Medicare, Horizon BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, and many others. We verify your benefits before your first visit so there are no surprise bills.

How soon can I get a physical therapy appointment in Wayne NJ?

We offer same-day and next-day appointments for most conditions. We understand that when you're in pain, you need help now—not weeks from now. Call (973) 689-7123 to schedule.

How long are physical therapy sessions?

Initial evaluations are 45-60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are typically 45-60 minutes of one-on-one care with Dr. Rob. Unlike chain clinics where you may be passed between therapists or aides, you receive dedicated attention for your entire session.

Who will be treating me at Spectrum Therapeutics?

You'll work directly with Dr. Rob Letizia, PT, DPT—an advanced orthopedic manual therapy specialist with over 25 years of experience. Dr. Rob delivers one-on-one, evidence-based care that gets results.

How many physical therapy sessions will I need?

Treatment duration varies by condition, but most patients see significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. During your evaluation, Dr. Rob will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific condition and goals.

What is manual therapy in physical therapy?

Manual therapy refers to hands-on treatment techniques performed by a physical therapist. This includes joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and muscle energy techniques. Dr. Rob has advanced training in manual therapy and uses these techniques to reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate healing.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

In many cases, yes. Research shows that physical therapy is as effective as surgery for many conditions including rotator cuff tears, meniscus tears, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs. Even if surgery becomes necessary, pre-surgical physical therapy can improve outcomes and speed recovery.

What should I wear to my physical therapy appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to the area being treated. For lower back or hip conditions, shorts are helpful. For shoulder conditions, a tank top or loose t-shirt works well.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It works by increasing blood flow (neovascularization) and breaking down scar tissue that causes chronic shoulder pain.

💪 Rotator Cuff Injuries

The Problem: Sharp pain when lifting your arm overhead. Weakness reaching behind your back. Night pain that disrupts sleep.

The Fix: Shockwave breaks down scar tissue, increases blood flow to poorly vascularized tendons, and stimulates collagen production for stronger tissue regeneration.

🧊 Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

The Problem: Your shoulder capsule has thickened and tightened, severely limiting motion. You can't reach overhead or put your arm behind your back.

The Fix: Shockwave breaks up adhesions in the joint capsule, restores mobility, and dramatically reduces recovery time.

Other Shoulder Conditions Treated

✓ Calcific Tendinitis
✓ Shoulder Impingement
✓ Shoulder Bursitis
✓ Biceps Tendinitis
✓ Post-Surgery Stiffness
