REFERRING BACK PAIN PATIENTS FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY EARLY DECREASES MEDICAL COSTS A study published in the journal Spine sampled 439,000 patients who received low back pain treatments. The study showed, what physical therapists have known for a long time: refer patients to physical therapy early after a back injury and achieve quick cost-effective results. The study showed that if patients were referred to physical therapy right away after acute low back pain, in conjunction with the prescribed treatments from their physician, the need for ongoing medical services was greatly reduced. This resulted in a significantly lower need for more complicated and risky procedures, including surgery. Physical therapy is a very important tool in the physician’s arsenal of treatments against back pain. Physical therapy is the ONLY treatment that evaluates and treats the limitations of movement, strength and proprioception that occur with back pain. The spine specialists at Recovery Physical Therapy work with you and your patients to quickly assess the root cause of a patient’s back pain and treat it. By referring to physical therapy at Recovery Physical Therapy right away, your patients can get on the road to recovery quickly. We make it easy to refer and stay in excellent communication with you throughout the entire treatment. This ensures your patient comes back completely satisfied and also thanking you for referring them to us.

S U C C E S S S T O R I E S WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
I just finished rehabbing a severely injured shoulder, including a 5th degree AC
separation, a torn bicep, and a massive rotator cuff tear. It turns out 54 year old men are not supposed to lay out to catch a fifteen yard out thrown low and outside. I met Richa Doshi at your Wall Street office by happenstance. I wanted to start PT right away and she was the only one who agreed to see me the same day. She seemed to know what she was doing, so I ended up sticking with her. Good thing I did. She was very accommodating to my irregular schedule (I’m a trial attorney and never know when I will and will not be on trial, so all my appointments are made last minute.) I am now six months post major shoulder surgery and due to my restoration of almost full range of motion and strength, I have been cleared to return to full contact sports. I return to the lacrosse field this month. I cannot thank Richa enough for her efforts. When my fiancé suffered a wrist injury, I sent her right to Richa for therapy. That’s the greatest compliment I can offer.” - J. L.
