🤔 Have you ever wondered if you really need to see your doctor before starting physical therapy? In many cases, you don’t!
Tennessee’s Direct Access law allows you to see a licensed physical therapist for many muscle, joint, and movement-related problems without getting a physician’s referral first.
That means if you’re dealing with back pain, a sore shoulder, knee pain, or another musculoskeletal issue, you can come see us at Arlington Physical Therapy, and we can evaluate what’s going on and determine the best way to help.
And if we feel like you need to see a doctor, we’ll help point you in the right direction.
It’s convenient, it can save you time and money, and most importantly, you have a choice in where you receive your physical therapy.
If something is hurting or keeping you from doing the things you enjoy, give us a call. Let’s talk about it.
