How We Work

We pride ourselves in continuity of care for our patients, and therefore all patients are assigned to the same therapist for the duration of their care. All patients must be referred by a physician. Patients interested in our women’s health services may be referred by their primary care physician, obstetrician, gynecologist, midwife or urologist.

Our average length of stay for uncomplicated extremity joint conditions is 7.9 visits, while for spinal (cervical and lumbar) conditions, the average length of stay is 9.8 visits. Our treatment sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes. We also tailor home programs to reinforce our in-clinic treatment.

Our outcomes studies place us in a highly desirable group of practices that efficiently produce satisfactory patient outcomes. By doing this, we then gain greater credibility when negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf for any extensions needed.
