How to find a physical therapist in Las Cruces, NM

FSA-spending

Physical therapy is a highly effective form of treatment for a wide array of injuries and conditions, from back pain to ankle injuries to post-surgical rehabilitation. Doctors will often recommend physical therapy sessions to supplement other forms of treatment and many people seek out physical therapists independently.

Las Cruces, New Mexico, and the surrounding area has no shortage of qualified physical therapists, which means it can be difficult to know how to start your search. With a location in Las Cruces, the caring physical therapy experts at Border Therapy Services want to provide a practical guide to help you make the right selection. If you have any questions, or want to learn more about how we can help, don’t hesitate to call us today.

Tips for selecting a physical therapist

If you’re being referred to physical therapy by your doctor, bear in mind that you are not required to use his or her recommendation. While you should obviously seriously consider any referral they have, especially if you have a good relationship with your doctor, you should weigh them equally against any other prospective clinics in your search. To help you narrow down your list to the right physical therapist for you, use these tips.

  • Check the credentials and licensing of any prospective physical therapy provider
  • Speak to friends and family to see if they have recommendations
  • Research the online reputation of any physical therapist you’re considering to see how they interact with patients
  • Speak to the provider over the phone to make sure they have a warm and friendly staff
  • Visit the clinic in person to ensure it is a clean, well-lit and inviting facility

Trust your instincts if you don’t feel like you are getting the attention you deserve or feel pressured into undergoing treatments you don’t feel you need.
