Physiotherapy
The most common question I get is, "What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Physical Therapist?" Physiotherapy is the use of different modalities to assist in the healing process. When patients present with various injuries such as muscle sprains/strains, post surgical rehabilitation (knee replacement, hip replacement, knee surgeries, rotator cuff surgeries, carpal tunnel/hand surgeries) etc...they usually need to see their primary Doctor to get a referral to see a Physical Therapist. My license to practice Physiotherapy is actually more advanced than a Physical Therapist, in that you do not need another Doctor's referral to receive treatment at my clinic. As a Doctor, I am able to DIAGNOSE AND TREAT, which is the main difference between a Doctor licensed in Physiotherapy and a Physical Therapist. If you have insurance benefits and it states that you only have Physical Therapy coverage, and not Chiropractic, most likely your visits would not be covered by your insurance. If you have any questions regarding your coverage, please call the office at 480-595-6100.
