How Do I Begin My Physical Therapy? |  |
|

| Physical Therapy has to be prescribed by a licensed doctor (other than a chiropractor) in the state of NY. This means an internist, orthopedist, podiatrist, family physician, etc.. can write a prescription to have Physical Therapy. The Physical Therapist must follow there orders including duration and frequency of visits. There are certain HMO's and insurances which may require your primary care physician to write your referral for Physical Therapy. Check your insurance card! | |||
