Physical therapy is care that is designed to ease pain and improve function, movement, and quality of life performed by a licensed physical therapist. People of all ages benefit from it, and it is used to treat a large variety of injuries and health problems. Many times physical therapy prevents the need for surgery and/or medications.
Our clinic hours:
No.The state of Kansas is a direct access state, meaning a referral is NOT required from a physician to begin treatment. Patients can contact our clinic directly to schedule an appointment.
Dr. Chelsea understands chronic pain and injury pain from her personal experience, and experienced how some patients with pain can be dismissed by medical professionals. We listen to patients as they are the experts of their own body. We focus on identifying and treating the root cause of your pain, not just managing the symptoms.We emphasize patient education about what is happening in your body and why, and utilize a specific technique called Pain Neuroscience Education which is a strategy to teach patients to reshape their mindset and perception of pain by retraining the brain. While pain medications can be effective in temporarily managing pain, it does not treat what isn't working correctly in your body. Our goal is to help your body recover, give you the tools to independently manage your pain, and provide pain relief without dependency on the healthcare system.
Since we are not restricted by insurance rules regarding treatment, we can treat whatever is bothering you, as time allows, every appointment. For instance, if your primary reason for coming to the clinic is for back pain, but you also twisted your ankle on a run, we can treat both without waiting for approval from an insurance company.
