Physical Therapy Vs. Chiropractic Adjustments
Both physical therapists and chiropractors have the same goal. They want to relieve pain and return you to a higher quality of life but they sometimes use different methods to get there. Today we talk about both options and explore some of the similarities and differences between physical therapy and chiropractic techniques.
Do I need a Doctors Referral for Physical Therapy?
No, You don’t need a doctor’s note or approval to start working through your pain. i’move experts are ready and waiting to diagnose and help you wherever you are on your recovery journey.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose fitting clothing that allows you to move freely
Can I go to Physical Therapy if I see Chiropractor?
Yes, you certainly can!
Is Physical Therapy Painful?
The primary goal of Physical Therapy is to lessen pain and improve function. Only in rare situations does the “no pain, no gain” rule apply.
How much does Physical Therapy cost?/Who Pays for Physical Therapy?
We partner with most insurance companies. Please call us and we will fill you in on cost based on your individual situation. Don’t worry, its way more affordable than you would expect!
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Be sure to bring the paperwork that we emailed to you, your insurance card, prescription for Physical Therapy (if you have one) and yourself!
How long will my appointment last?
Most appointments range from 30-40 minutes and the average treatment duration is less than 10 visits.
What is a Pain Assessment?
A Pain Assessment is a 30 minute one on one session with a clinician that is essential for correctly diagnosing an issue and determining a treatment plan that doesn’t just take care of the symptoms, but also takes care of what’s causing them, eliminating the pain as well as its source. At the conclusion of the pain assessment, one of the following recommendations will be given:
- Proceeding with physical therapy and instructions on how to get a referral or schedule an initial evaluation
- Following up with your doctor or a specialist to address a specific issue
- Exercises to try on your own at home and follow up with i’move as needed

Jamie has helped me with scoliosis pain. Three sessions in and I have greater movement and less pain.
They treat you with kindness and respect. They tell you what you need to know to get better. Every time I have surgery or just life, this is my go-to for treatment. Been going there for years!!!
Had total hip replacements on both hips. The therapists were excellent, and care was top-notch. Very professional and took the time to listen to concerns, explain the exercises, and provided printouts on each exercise. My recovery has been excellent with no problems or paralysis. Thank you.
I am VERY satisfied with the care I have received and would Highly recommend them to anyone needing treatment.
My husband and I both had extensive PT this winter and this group is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, but very personable. We are back on the court and living our active lives again. Thank you so much!
Every employee is 100% invested in their patients!!
