Questions people actually ask.

No. In Illinois you can be evaluated and treated without a referral or a script from a physician, so you can call us today and be seen without waiting on an appointment with someone else first. If your particular insurance plan needs a referral for reimbursement, we will spot that when we check your benefits and help you sort it out.

We listen first. You tell us the whole story, then we watch how you actually move and test until we can name what is driving the pain rather than guessing at it. You leave that visit knowing what is wrong, roughly how long it takes to fix, and what happens next. It runs about an hour.

Visits run 30 to 60 minutes depending on what we are doing. Most patients see a significant reduction in pain within six visits. A full plan runs through all four phases, Pain, Prime, Perform and Prevent, and you will always know which phase you are in and what is left. That is what we mean by a plan with an endpoint.

Yes. Every visit is one-on-one with a licensed therapist, and it is the same person who evaluated you. You will not be handed to an aide, and you will not be sharing your session with two other patients while somebody moves between you. That is the whole reason this practice works the way it does.

We currently accept Medicare Part B, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois PPO, United Healthcare, Workers Compensation, and cash pay. Coverage varies by plan even within the same carrier, so the honest answer is that we check your specific benefits before your first visit and tell you the number. If you are not covered, ask us about self-pay.

Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and shoes you can walk in. Bring anything you already have about the problem: imaging, notes from your doctor, a list of what you have tried. If you have none of that, that is fine. Nothing about the evaluation depends on paperwork.

Usually because the last place treated where it hurt instead of what was causing it, and because you were sharing a therapist with other people. Here the evaluation comes first and it is looking for the cause. Then it is one-on-one, hands-on, every visit, with a plan that has an end date. If we are not the right answer for you, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
