Do I need a prescription from my physician to come to therapy?
In the state of Arkansas, you do not need a prescription to come see us for physical therapy. However, if you are filing with your insurance, please take note that some insurance companies require a prescription. Please check with your insurance company to see what they require.

Evaluations take approximately forty minutes to an hour. It all depends on if there are multiple sites involved, other issues, and comorbidities.

It all depends on what the therapist deems necessary to help you get better. It could be a combination of exercise, manual techniques, procedures, and modalities.

What is the difference between a Physical Therapy Program and PT procedures?
A Physical Therapy Program is a more comprehensive version of the PT session. The Evaluation session will include a thorough assessment, questions, objective testing, analysis and planning (evaluation). The goal of the PT Program is not only pain relief, but also sustained relief and gains. We will treat, train, test, and coach you as well. This is “Physical Therapy”. We will use PT procedures as needed to help you achieve your goals, including being active, running again, or being able to do your chores again. Examples of PT procedures are Graston Technique, Dry Needling, IASTM, BFR, Cupping, and Manual Technique. Combining PT procedures with exercise and coaching with provide you with a more complete Physical Therapy Program built to achieve your goals.
What is the difference between an Evaluation, an Injury Assessment, or a 20 Minute Session with a Physical Therapist?
Evaluation is a thorough assessment of your issues and complaints and is performed by a Physical Therapist. This involves Subjective information (past medical history), Objective testing, thorough Analysis by the PT (really important), and Planning (using different PT procedures like exercise, manual technique and modalities to help you reach your goals and make gains as quickly as possible). You can either file with insurance or pay out of pocket (cash or credit). You have to call the clinic for scheduling, as they usually have specific questions to help get you started.
Injury Assessment is a shortened version (20 min) of an Evaluation. This is typically done on site at one of our two clinics, Next Level Soccer, or Ozark Iron Gym. The therapist will assess, make recommendations based on assessment, and form a plan. Recommendations can include visiting your primary care, ER, orthopedic consult, podiatrist consult, or Physical Therapy for treatment. For Physical Therapy treatment options you may choose Physical Therapy Program (more comprehensive and highly recommended), a shortened version of the sessions (20 min session with a PT), or just come for PT Procedures such as manual therapy or electrical stimulation. PT Procedures and 20 min session with a PT are cash/credit only. You may book these procedures and cash programs online at your convenience.
20 Minute Session with a PT is a shortened version of your typical session. The physical therapist may perform any procedure pertinent to your case and issue within that allowed time frame. If your condition does not improve in a reasonable time frame (as determined by the PT), your therapist may recommend that you switch to a more comprehensive Physical Therapy Program. (Example: You have an acute low back issue, came for 3 of the 20 min sessions with a PT, but your response has been slow. At that point your PT may recommend a full thorough evaluation and 3-4 weeks with our Low Back Program. In order to be more successful, this program may be more frequent, such as 2-3 times a week. If placed in a PT Program you may file your insurance, however, a 20 min session with a PT is cash or credit only.
How should I dress for my sessions?
Come dressed in comfortable clothes for your sessions. It is generally recommended that you wear shorts if coming for treatment for your knees or hips. We prefer pants over skirts and dresses if possible.
What type of patients do you treat?
We see patients for rehab to the neck, back, shoulder, knee, ankle, foot, elbow, hip, and wrist areas. This list is not all inclusive, so please contact us if you have any questions about therapy that fits your personal situation.
Are your therapists trained in certain techniques and approaches?
Our therapists are trained in a variety of techniques. Some of the techniques and approaches that our therapists have been trained in include: Graston technique, lymphedema, and vestibular rehab.
What tools will you be using to treat me?
We don’t just have a toolbox full of healing tools- we have two gyms full of them! Some of our current equipment includes light treatment (infrared and UV), soft tissue oscillation (STO), ultrasound, electrical stimulation, (Hi-volt, IFC, Premod, and NMES), Anodyne, IASTM, Graston instruments, and V-force. Though we have a wide variety of equipment at our disposal, we would like to emphasize the use of these tools with our treatment sessions to get you back on your feet.
Do you refer to other physicians and communicate with them?
We both refer out and communicate with your physician regarding your condition. If you do not respond within a reasonable amount of time in physical therapy, then we will refer you to the physician of your choice. If you do not have a physician in mind, we are more than happy to make recommendations.
What can I expect to get out of therapy once I am finished?
Our goal is for you to live a happy and healthy life with less pain and discomfort if possible. When you are finished with therapy, we hope to get you back to playing golf, doing your chores, or whatever it is you love to do. We will help you set up a plan that will allow you to retain the strength and health you obtained in therapy.
