In most states, including New York, you have direct access to physical therapy! What this means is that you will not need a physician’s referral to start feeling better right away! The grace period allows you the opportunity to start on your road to recovery right away, although you will be required to seek a referral by your 10th session or within 30 days of starting treatment as per state law in order to continue.
If you suffered an injury or deal with chronic pain, you are able to get the care you need without the delay of trying to make an appointment from your doctor. You can make an appointment with a physical therapist, and in most cases, get seen for an evaluation within 2-3 days of your call. Depending on the nature of your injury you may begin in-session treatment right away and discuss your personalized at-home regimen.
A physical therapist will analyze the nature of your pain or bodily trauma and tailor a program that can be conducted with the therapist as well as exercises that will help with pain at home. The combination of in-office and at home exercises will help you heal faster, safer, and will have you feeling better much quickly.
Physical therapy is the great resource to take advantage of as physical therapists have the training and expertise of proper motioning of the body as well as the knowledge on how to help the body heal itself through exercises and movements reducing inflammation.
There is no excuse to not live in pain if you live in a state, such as New York, with direct access.
