NO! You do NOT need a referral from your dotor - TRY PT FIRST! Physical Therapists in Colorado are licensed Primary Care Providers, allowing you Direct Access to Physical Therapy. This means our Physical Therapist’s are trained to be the first to evaluate your pain. A Physical Therapy Evaluation determines the source of your pain. If your evaluation determines your pain stems from a muscle or joint issue, then physical therapy is the proper first course of treatment and also the most inexpensive and non-invasive. If your pain is NOT determined as a muscle or joint issue, your Physical Therapist is licensed to refer you to a practitioner that is right for you and your condition. To learn more about Direct Access, give us a call at 303 666 4151.

Independently, a bump or bruise should get better with ice and rest within 48 hours of injury. Similarly, a minor muscle strain or simply overworking a muscle should recover within 10 to 14 days. IF your pain persists beyond 2 weeks you should come to PT! Research shows if people come to physical therapy within 4 weeks of injury, recovery is 50% faster and costs 50% less in the end, than those who wait for the pain to heal on its own. If your original pain is moderate to severe for more than 24 hours, this indicates a muscle or joint is truly strained. Though this pain may go away within two weeks, it is only because your body is able to compensate. Compensation is when one part of your body works harder to give the injured part a break (i.e. you start to limp after spraining an ankle). Though you might actually feel like you are healed, you are not off the hook! The part of your body that is overworking will eventually start hurting as well and THIS pain will not resolve until the original injury is properly rehabilitated. IN SHORT, IF YOUR PAIN IS MODERATE TO SEVERE OR LASTS LONGER THAN 2 WEEKS, COME IN TO SEE US! We offer a FREE PT Consultation that tells you what’s causing your pain and what kind of plan of care will heal your pain. As a bonus, we provide you with self-care advice and an exercise (or two) to get you started on your recovery!
