physical therapy in Kansas City

Back pain from yard work over the weekend? Sore ankle from your slow-pitch softball game? Knee arthritis acting up again? Perhaps you’re working toward returning to work after hand surgery. 

In the past, you might have had to schedule an appointment with your physician to receive a physical therapy referral. This process takes time, plus an extra co-pay to your doctor. Meanwhile, you are in pain, and you already know what the solution is. 

The need for waiting and an extra trip to the doctor is now in the past. In the state of Kansas, you have direct access to physical therapy. Here is everything you need to know about direct access and how it can make your life and your recovery easier. 

In popular culture, the word “access” implies exclusivity. When it comes to direct access to therapy, however, the opposite is true. In the State of Kansas, if you need physical and/or occupational therapy, “Come on in!” That’s right, direct access essentially cuts out the middleman. If you need physical therapy, call our office and schedule an appointment. 

Direct access saves time, so you can get on the road to recovery and mobility with the help of one of our highly skilled and specially certified therapists. 

Our therapists at Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance (KCOA) provide highly attentive and personalized care. All of our Physical Therapy rehab sessions are conducted one-on-one with you and the therapist. We create a personalized treatment plan and provide at-home exercises in both print and video versions. This will help you on your path to achieving your goals and returning to activity. 

If, at the end of two weeks of care or sooner at KCOA Physical Therapy, your therapist feels you should see a physician, they can assist in scheduling you with an appropriate orthopedic specialist here. We have board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians on staff in every area of orthopedics. 

All processes are handled no differently than if you were referred by a physician. We will verify your insurance before your initial visit. If the insurance verification staff finds any issues with your Self-Referral (no doctor prescription), our staff will contact you to let you know that you will need to either become private pay or obtain a prescription for physical therapy.
