Do I need a doctor's referral?
The state of California allows direct access for patients to
receive a Physical Therapy evaluation without a physician referral.
However, treatment by a physical therapist requires a diagnosis by a
physician. This can be verbal from your physician, faxed, or hand
carried by you. We can refer you to a physician if necessary through
our Physician Referral Network.
The Physician Referral Network is a unique program that provides
referrals to physicians of all specialties when medical necessity is
determined in our sports screenings or evaluations. These participating
physicians and surgeons have made appointments available for immediate
access on a same day or next day basis. We can provide any inquiring
patient with recommendations to leading physicians who are experts in
their specialties for initial visits or second opinions.

How often will I need to attend physical therapy?
Most patients come to physical therapy two or three times a week. Your schedule will be dictated by your treatment goals and determined by your physical therapist based on the nature of your injury. The more committed you are to coming to therapy and to your home exercise program, the more satisfied you will be with your progress.
