Pain and injuries are never planned and if you are experiencing this you may be unsure about if seeking physical or occupational therapy treatment is appropriate and safe at this time.
During this time, our clinics will remain open to deliver on our promise of providing safe, affordable and effective rehabilitation services to all of our patients. The safety of our patients and employees is extremely important to us and we are following the guidelines of the CDC and other health authorities to provide the safest environment for all. Sanitation continues to be a top priority as we have re-emphasized to our staff the importance of keeping our facilities clean as well as practicing good hand hygiene, having adequate supplies and restricting access to the clinic. We will also be providing a telehealth or virtual care option for individuals who want to take additional safety precautions.
Early intervention of physical therapy can eliminate the need for unnecessary medication, surgery or extensive imaging tests ? including X-Rays, MRIs and CT scans. Delaying treatment could mean additional expenses and prolonged pain. Request an appointment in-clinic or virtually through a secure online video chat today and start feeling better tomorrow.
Appointment Options:
- In-clinic:?Face-to-face treatment options with one of our experts.
