The 2 Most Frequently Asked Questions:

1.  Do I need a doctor's referral for Physical Therapy? 

 In Louisiana, a Physical Therapist may Evaluate a patient without a referral from a physician; however, a physician's diagnosis is required prior to the initiation of physical therapy treatment.  If you have an acute or persistent musculoskeletal pain or problem that is limiting your daily routine, it is probably a good idea to see your physician to rule out any underlying medical pathology - then you may benefit from a Physical Therapy Evaluation to determine along with the Physical Therapist how PT may help you.

2.  Will my health insurance pay for my physical therapy?
