Question 1

Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a physical therapist?

Accepted Answer

In New Jersey, you can see a physical therapist without a doctor's referral for up to 30 days or 10 visits (whichever comes first) under direct access laws. However, some insurance plans may still require a referral for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider or contacting us to verify your specific coverage.

Question 2

What should I wear to my physical therapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Athletic wear like t-shirts, shorts, or yoga pants works well. Depending on the area being treated, you may need to expose your shoulder, knee, or back, so plan accordingly. Please also bring any relevant medical records, imaging results, or doctor's notes.

Question 3

How long is a typical physical therapy session?

Accepted Answer

At Spineck Physical Therapy, each session is typically 45-60 minutes of one-on-one time with your physical therapist. Unlike many clinics where therapists manage multiple patients at once, you receive dedicated attention throughout your entire appointment.

Question 4

How many physical therapy sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. During your initial evaluation, we'll discuss a treatment plan and give you an estimated timeline. Some patients see significant improvement in 4-6 sessions, while more complex cases may require longer care.

Question 5

What is the McKenzie Method?

Accepted Answer

The McKenzie Method (also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy or MDT) is an evidence-based approach to assessing and treating spine-related conditions. It focuses on identifying specific movements and positions that relieve your pain, then teaching you exercises you can do at home to manage your condition independently.

Question 6

What insurance plans do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare. In cases when we bill out of network, we provide the superbill so that you can get reimbursed by your insurance. All costs are discussed upfront so there are no surprise bills. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.

Question 7

What is "one-on-one" physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

One-on-one physical therapy means you receive your therapist's complete, undivided attention for your entire session. Unlike larger clinics where one therapist may see 2-4 patients simultaneously (often with the help of aides or assistants), at Spineck PT, it's just you and your therapist for the full appointment.

Question 8

Do you offer telehealth/virtual physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer virtual physical therapy sessions for patients who cannot visit our clinic in person. Telehealth appointments are great for follow-up visits, exercise instruction, and ongoing guidance. Contact us to see if virtual PT is appropriate for your condition.

Question 9

What conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including neck pain, back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, post-surgical rehabilitation (knee, shoulder, hip replacements, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair), sports injuries, chronic pain, arthritis, and pregnancy-related pain.
