During your first visit, you will discuss your medical history and current concerns with your provider. This will help provide context about your symptoms or issues, as well as allow you to establish goals for therapy. Following that intake process, your provider will lead you through an objective examination, where your therapist will conduct a detailed physical assessment to identify potential sources of your symptoms. Based on these findings, your provider will construct an individualized program for you, where you will receive a personalized program tailored to your needs. Your therapist will also give you guidance on exercises or activities to work on as well as avoid outside of therapy. Based on the assessment, your provider will establish a plan for your therapy sessions. This plan of care will provide you with a guideline and framework for how long to expect to work through therapy, as well as provide you with a timeline for how long it should take to achieve the goals you lined up.

Your initial visit will last for one hour, providing ample time for a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plan. Subsequent follow-up visits are also scheduled in one-hour blocks, allowing dedicated time for reassessment, treatment, and progression monitoring.

For focused dry needling sessions, a 30-minute block is allocated, ensuring efficient and effective treatment tailored specifically to address targeted areas of concern.

The number of visits you need is going to depend why you are coming to see us. Typically more acute or new issues will be resolved faster, while longer, persistent problems tend to take more visits for us to get you back to feeling better. At your initial assessment, your therapist will discuss the plan of care that they feel like will fit you best as an individual and will allow you to meet all your goals.

Feel free to wear comfy workout gear and shoes that let you move easily during your visit. If you're coming in for dry needling, loose clothing works best—it helps us get to the spot we'll be working on more comfortably.

While we don't directly bill insurance, we operate as an out of network or cash-based provider. This approach allows us to focus entirely on your needs rather than being restricted by insurance requirements. By eliminating the constraints of insurance billing, our therapists have the flexibility to craft personalized treatment plans tailored specifically to your requirements and goals, as well as allows us to spend more time directly with you to support you throughout the process. We provide Superbills for our services, enabling you to seek reimbursement directly from your insurance provider if applicable. Additionally, we accept payments through FSA/HSA accounts, offering you the convenience and flexibility in managing your healthcare expenses while ensuring you receive the dedicated, customized care you deserve.

A superbill is a detailed invoice or receipt provided by healthcare providers to patients for services rendered. It includes specific information about the services provided during a visit, such as the date of service, diagnosis or treatment codes, fees for each service, and the provider's information.

The purpose of a superbill is to enable patients to seek reimbursement from their insurance company directly. Patients can submit the superbill to their insurance provider to claim reimbursement for the services received. While the reimbursement isn't guaranteed and depends on the individual's insurance plan and coverage, the Superbill serves as documentation to support the claim for reimbursement of out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.

This monthly touchpoint serves as a proactive measure to ensure sustained improvement and prevent potential setbacks, empowering you to stay on track with your health and mobility goals.
