Get Direct Access: No Referral Needed
Access to physical therapy has expanded, and it has never been easier to get the treatment you need. You can now obtain physical therapy in New Jersey without a referral from a physician.
In 2003, the New Jersey Legislature enacted a law that allows individuals to visit a physical therapist directly without requiring a referral or prescription from a physician first. This is called “Direct Access,” and it can help you get the care you need much sooner while saving on the cost and waiting time to see a physician.
If you are experiencing aches and pains, having difficulty performing daily activities, and are unsure whether physical therapy would help, consider referring yourself to physical therapy for treatment.
Be Prepared for Your Visit
At each of our Twin Boro Physical Therapy locations in Somerset County, NJ, our team works with patients as they advance from their current to their desired functional level. Here are a few ways to prepare before you arrive.
- Paperwork
No one really loves paperwork, but it’s necessary. It may include insurance details and new patient forms that give your physical therapist a better understanding of your health history and condition. Leave some time before your first appointment to complete the documents we need. Read more about how to find a physical therapy provider who participates in your healthcare plan.
- Assessment
The pain you’re experiencing may be causing your shoulder to throb, but we want to be sure we’re treating the correct origin of the pain. For example, shoulder pain can sometimes be coming from your neck. We will measure your range of motion, strength, mobility, and implement some other assessments related to your condition to ensure that we treat the source of the problem, and not just the symptoms.
- Treatment
After your initial assessment, your physical therapist will create a unique plan of care with short- and long-term goals. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. If you have arm pain, wear short sleeves. If you have leg pain, try not to wear jeans or tight pants that prevent easy access.
The main goal of treatment is to help you reduce pain, restore mobility, and regain daily function. Read more about our proprietary One2Four™ Advanced Physical Therapy technique which we have implemented in all of our New Jersey locations.
