Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Physical Therapy care with Dr. LPT:
- What should I wear to my physical therapy appointment?
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the treatment area, such as shorts for knee issues or a tank top for shoulder problems. Athletic wear is a good option.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist?
- Dr. LPT offers direct access to physical therapy services. In many states, you can see her without a physician's referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement; please call our office or check with your insurance provider to confirm your plan's specific requirements.
- I'm recovering from surgery. When should I start physical therapy?
- The timing of physical therapy after surgery depends on the specific procedure and your surgeon's protocol. For some surgeries, physical therapy may begin within a few days to manage swelling and restore movement, while others may require a few weeks of healing first. Always follow your surgeon's recommendations, and Dr. LPT works closely with surgeons to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
- I have chronic back pain. How is physical therapy different from just resting or taking pain medication?
- Dr. LPT's physical therapy approach differs from simply resting or taking pain medication by focusing on the underlying mechanical issues causing your chronic back pain. She will use manual therapy to improve mobility and prescribe exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and restore healthy movement patterns for long-term pain relief. While rest and medication can help with acute pain, physical therapy addresses the root cause of the problem.
- What can I do to prevent my sports injury from happening again?
- Dr. LPT will work with you to identify the root cause of your injury, such as muscle imbalances or poor mechanics. She will create a personalized exercise program focused on strengthening and improving movement patterns to prevent re-injury, not just on healing. This preventative approach is a major part of sports rehabilitation.
- What is 'manual therapy'?
- Dr. LPT uses manual therapy, skilled hands-on techniques, to decrease pain and improve mobility. This includes joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and therapeutic stretching. It's a key part of treatment for many musculoskeletal issues.
- How can physical therapy help with my balance problems or dizziness?
- Dr. LPT offers vestibular rehabilitation, a specialized physical therapy focusing on balance and dizziness, often stemming from inner ear issues. Treatment may include specific head, neck, and eye exercises to retrain the brain and improve stability, such as the Epley maneuver for BPPV.
- How long does a typical physical therapy session last?
- Initial evaluations with Dr. LPT typically last about 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up appointments are usually 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the personalized treatment plan.
