What Will My First Appointment Be Like?

Many patients frequently ask questions before their initial visit. Your first time at Country Roads Physical Therapy will be to create the perfect treatment plan for you. Plan to arrive at your appointment early with the appropriate documents to complete new patient paperwork. You will meet your physical therapist to evaluate your abilities and condition to design a treatment plan. If you have questions, please call your closest Country Roads Physical Therapy clinic or contact us online.

What Should I Bring to My Appointment?

For your first appointment, bring your photo ID, insurance cards, worker’s compensation claims, and any other documents for billing purposes. You must also provide any X-rays, MRIs, lab tests, or other relevant medical information. If your injury is related to an automobile accident, you must obtain a “Letter of Protection.” We will contact your physician and send them copies of your evaluation and treatment plan. If you have completed the new patient forms at home, please also bring them in.

Will I See the Same Therapist at Each Appointment?

Country Roads Physical Therapy tries to schedule patients with the same therapist for every appointment. If scheduling conflicts arise, you can trust our other therapists to provide equally outstanding therapy techniques. All physical therapists and therapist assistants are trained and certified in all treatment areas.

What is the Difference Between a DPT, PT, and PTA?

A Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and a Master of Physical Therapy (PT or MPT) are the highest academic achievements physical therapists receive. Both DPTs and PTs have the proper education, clinical training, and research background to obtain their titles. Both DPTs and PTs oversee Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs). PTAs have their Associate’s degree, where they have studied the appropriate conditions and treatments to treat patients. All titles are board-certified and licensed by the state.

How Long Does Each Appointment Last?

The length of appointments depends on the treatment you are receiving. It is best to prepare to spend about 45-60 minutes at Country Roads Physical Therapy. Your appointment amount will depend on your condition, physician, and insurance. Contact your insurance company to see if they will cover a maximum number of appointments or a dollar amount. Country Roads Physical Therapy accepts all major insurances.
