Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can physical therapy help with?
Physical therapy can help address a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, knee pain, sports injuries, running-related injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, mobility limitations, chronic pain, and movement dysfunction. At Greater Heights Physical Therapy & Performance, every treatment plan is individualized to help patients move better, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy most.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
Many patients in Michigan can begin physical therapy without a physician referral through direct access laws. However, some insurance plans may still require a referral for reimbursement. If you are unsure, our team is happy to help guide you through the process before your first appointment.
Can physical therapy help chronic pain?
Yes. Physical therapy can be highly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain by improving movement quality, strength, mobility, and overall function. Treatment may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, movement retraining, dry needling, recovery-focused rehabilitation, and education designed to support long-term symptom management and improved quality of life.
