              Why Should I see a Physical Therapist?Physical Therapy has been determined to be the most effective and safe means of treating bone, muscle, and joint pain. In this era of skyrocketing health care costs, physical therapy provides a proven, cost effective approach to healthcare that avoids the potentially harmful side effects of medication and the massive costs and complications of surgery. Physicians are specifically trained to diagnose and treat "medical" problems that affect the internal systems of the body. Aside from Orthopedic and Physical Medicine Physicians, physical therapists are the most highly trained medical practitioners in the treatment of conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles and other soft tissue. In New York State, it is not necessary to see your physician prior to seeing a physical therapist. You can see us directly, and we will work with your doctor to assure that you receive timely, efficient, and effective care. If you want to take control of your health and work with knowledgeable and caring individuals, physical therapy is where you should start.
