MarathonPT: Where Does Back Pain Come From?

Patient Success Story

HAVE YOU MET YOUR ANNUAL INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE?

“I Feel Healthy Again.”

“Before starting therapy here about 7 weeks ago I had pain sometimes in both legs and was using a cane. I would get very tired and was not able to keep my schedule of taking care of my 2 grandchildren. A fall had triggered my pain. I am now about back to normal. I am very grateful that my neighbor recommended me to come here and I feel healthy again.” - Patricia T. Find out Patricia’s story and how she did with physical therapy below... Patricia originally found out about us through her neighbor. She had a very bad bout of lower back pain that also traveled down to her legs after falling. It was making her walking very difficult and causing her to have to use a cane. She also could no longer care for her grandchildren. After attending one of our Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Workshops and meeting with Dr. Negin Jalayer, Patricia decided to give our physical therapy a try. She was suffering with pain that was 8/10. After 8 weeks of physical therapy, which included therapeutic massage, stretching, lower back exercises, and strengthening of her core muscles, Patricia’s condition greatly improved. She graduated from our care with no pain (0/10), the ability to walk without needing a cane, the ability to walk for long distances, and the ability to care for her grandchildren again. We celebrate her success!

An insurance deductible is the amount of money that you must pay before your insurance company pays for your medical services. If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or completely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for Physical Therapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core?
