Why Use Physical Therapy First?

• Avoid waiting periods for appointments (when a patient is referred to Neuro/Orthopedic surgeons, he/she waits 2-3 weeks for an appointment, and then just gets referred by Neuro/Orthopedic surgeon to physical therapy – unless they are an obvious surgical candidate).
• Patients feel like their physician is taking a pro-active approach to their care.
• Patients may be able to avoid taking a lot of unnecessary medication.
