Direct Access Care at Alton Physical Therapy, PC – Alton Physical Therapy is open and ready to treat you. Take advantage of “direct access” care during this time. Illinois is a “direct access” state, meaning no physician’s order is required for you to have a physical therapy evaluation. If you are suffering from a musculoskeletal condition that causes functional movement limitations, physical therapy may be for you. A visit to your local physical therapist is a safe place to start on the road to recovery. Starting directly at Alton Physical Therapy allows you to start on treatment right away with very little risk of further injury. Physical therapy is a low-cost value-packed healthcare service. To get started, call your insurance company and ask “is a physician’s order required for physical therapy coverage?” If not, call and schedule an appointment today. Your physical therapist will evaluate you and set up an individualized treatment regime. If your symptoms improve, it is a win for you. You will be referred to your primary healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve within 10 visits or 15 business days, or if your physical therapist feels your condition is beyond their scope of care. Questions? Call 618-462-1133.
Oh Happy Boss’s Day to ours, the leader of our pack, the captain of our ship! We thank you for being OUTSTANDING! ❤️ Alton Physical Therapy really is the BEST with you in the driver’s seat! 🚗
