FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Many of our patients have unfortunately been suffering for on average 10+ years and have failed many of the treatments provided by other health care professionals. They have spent a great deal of time and money on treatments and professionals who have not been able to provide a long-term solution to their issues. While some have received short term pain relief ranging from a couple hours to a couple days with these past treatments, they have yet to find a true, long lasting pain relief solution. That’s where we come in! We are not in the business of creating “repeat customers” who require our patients to come in for treatment week after week and month after month. We find the root cause of your pain, educate you on what is causing your pain, correct the source of your issue and, most importantly, TEACH YOU how to fix the pain. This allows you to NEVER have to re-enter the healthcare system for your issue in the future as you will know exactly what to do to eliminate the pain if you happen to have a flare up!

Thanks to the amazing advocacy efforts of the Iowa Physical Therapy Association and American Physical Therapy Association, Iowa is a “direct access state.” This means you are allowed to come directly to our practice for evaluation and treatment without a physician’s referral!

Our patients all share some common characteristics as healthcare consumers. First, they desire and expect high quality, effective, hands-on care. They do not want to spend their time and money on treatment visits where all they do is perform exercises that they could be doing independently outside of their therapy session. They value their one-on-one time with their doctor of physical therapy and want treatments and education on their condition that they cannot get independently. Secondly, our patients take ownership in their health. Our patients have decided that enough is enough and it is now time to take control of their health and do what is necessary to reach their fitness and health goals whether those goals are returning to a walking program, returning to sport or playing with their kids without limitations. They are finished with suffering and are ready to make lasting changes to begin living their best life. They want to and are willing to be active participants in their recovery and are willing to put in the work on a daily basis to reach their desired outcome. Finally, our patients want SOLUTIONS to their pain and issues, not just “band aids” or temporary pain relief treatments. They want to know exactly what’s causing their pain and want to know how they can actively help to solve their pain issues both now and in the future. Simply, they want answers to what is giving them their limitations and will do everything in their power to evolve into the best versions of themselves. They are done with the past suggestions of surgeries, injections, pain medications or any other “band aids.”
