NEWSLETTER Your Resource for Health, Wellness & Caring For Your Body
Navigating healthcare is no easy feat, and here in the Cayman Islands, insurance only complicates matters, especially if you have an unusual complaint. It isn’t always clear what services your plan will actually cover beyond the basics, so you may wind up with an unexpected bill three months after your appointment. We get it. In fact, we’re just as frustrated as you are by the complexities of insurance companies. That’s why we want to make sure you know just how effective physiotherapy can be at helping you reduce costs, particularly when it comes to pain management. Why? Because many pain specialists opt for medications or recommend surgery to repair the problem if it isn’t resolved. Depending on your insurance, this can be expensive and time-consuming. Meanwhile, you’re still in pain! At The Physiotherapy Center LTD, we want to help you cut through the mess so you can feel better fast. If you’re struggling with musculoskeletal pain, physiotherapy is a natural, cost-effective treatment option, so we can also help you save money in the long term. Want more information? Our friendly staff will be happy to walk you through it! Five Reasons Why Physiotherapy Can Save You Money 1. We take the time to evaluate. Doctors are busy and can often only spend a few moments on your examination. We’ll spend between 30 and 60 minutes assessing your strength, mobility, balance, and more, ensuring we have a complete picture of your condition to provide optimal treatment. 2. We aim to treat the cause of your pain. Those in- depth assessments we love have another benefit: they help us know how to treat the cause of your Physiotherapy: A Cost-Effective Solution for Your Pain
pain rather than merely masking symptoms. We’ll pinpoint why you’re hurting so you can resolve the problem entirely — saving money in the long run. 3. We offer preventative techniques. Many musculoskeletal injuries develop over time due to repetitive motions, awkward postures, or a sedentary lifestyle. If you don’t address those background causes, you’ll likely injure yourself again. In addition to resolving a current injury, we’ll provide personalized techniques for preventing new ones. 4. We can help you avoid medications. Setting aside potential side effects, medication can be expensive, even with insurance. We offer drug-free pain management techniques such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercise that can provide both immediate and long-term relief. 5. We can help you avoid surgery. Surgery is a big deal with a lot of potential risks, which is why most people want to avoid it (understandably so). Plus, while most healthcare plans cover surgery to some extent, how much coverage you get can vary. So, for many, orthopedic surgery is scary and expensive. However, while there are situations where surgery is unavoidable, many others are not. In fact, physiotherapy is a frontline treatment for conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and mild to moderate soft tissue injuries.
