❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get Answers to Your Most Common Questions About Physical Therapy in Wayne, NJ

🤔

"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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Movement re-education
Many patients who were told they needed surgery have avoided it completely with our treatment.
🏃‍♂️

"I'm not in severe pain. Should I still come in?"

Absolutely YES! Early intervention prevents minor problems from becoming major ones. If you're experiencing:
  • Occasional aches and pains
  • Stiffness in the morning
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Fatigue during normal activities
Addressing these issues now can prevent serious injuries later and keep you active and healthy.
