Why should I use Telehealth for an initial assessment?
- Telehealth physical therapy has been shown to demonstrate comparable outcomes and patient satisfaction when compared to in-person.
- Physical therapy is more effective, less invasive and less expensive than traditional health care treatment options.
- Patients who get physical therapy right away are less likely to need specialist appointments, surgery, MRIs, and other expensive diagnostic procedures. And they spend less, an average of $4,500 less over the course of care.
- Finally, physical therapy patients are less likely to need prescription pain killers.
- The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that PT patients are 35% less likely to be prescribed opioids, even if they only come for one visit. Great news, since opioids are highly addictive and don’t treat pain – they only mask it.
