No Referral Needed

Also referred to as Direct Access. It is commonly believed, but untrue, that a referral is needed to see a physical therapist. In Oklahoma you can be seen for 30 days without a physician referral. Medical physicians specialize in medical conditions while physical therapists specialize in biomechanical issues that affect function and respond best to movement and precise manual therapy. Understanding this fact will save you time and money and get you to the right professional to get the care you need. If your condition requires a physician care we will refer you to your primary care provider or appropriate specialist. *Your insurances may require a physician referral as part of your policy agreement. We will check and verify all your benefit coverages prior to your visit.

2nd Opinion

When should I seek a second opinion?
  • When you don’t feel like you are being heard.
  • When you are not being offered options or feel like they might not be comprehensive.
  • When your doctor recommends a serious, but non-emergency surgery.
  • Disappointment with your current treatment results.
  • When you are told there is nothing that can be done for your condition.
  • When your doctor recommends surgery as the ONLY treatment option.
  • When your condition is unresponsive or returns after treatment.
  • When the doctor is unable to give you an accurate diagnosis.

Don’t Give Up! You owe it to yourself to feel better, and at Function Physical Therapy we have been fortunate to help people succeed when they thought there was no hope. It is amazing the type of results you can get when you start treating the causes of your problems, instead of just treating symptoms. If physical therapy is not appropriate for you, we can help you explore and understand your options to help determine the next best step in your care.

Choose PT 1st

Unfortunately, musculoskeletal pain is often untreated, mistreated, and mismanaged in medicine. Costly and unnecessary tests, (like x-rays and MRIs), unneeded surgery, and narcotics (including opioids) are used to treat symptoms instead of the root cause. These treatments lead to higher costs, persistent or recurrent pain, activity limitations, loss of confidence and frustration. Biomechanical causes of your pain are usually over looked but have been proven to be the most cost-effective treatment to you empower you to move better with less pain and limitations.
