Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can physical therapy help me?
A: Physical therapy strives to help individuals develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout life.

We also make sure that you have a variety of strategies to help you keep your symptoms gone once you have completed your therapy.
Q: Are your therapists licensed?

Q: How do I get started with physical therapy?
A: Contact our office at 336-677-1800 to schedule your first physical therapy visit. In order to avoid conflict with any other appointments, please have your calendar handy when scheduling your first visit. Also have your insurance card available in order to provide necessary information for verification of insurance benefits. Our qualified staff will answer all your questions and help you get started.
Q: Do I need a doctor’s prescription?

The staff scheduling your appointment will tell you if a prescription is required and help with obtaining the necessary paperwork.
Q: Does my insurance pay for my therapy?
A: Yadkin Physical Therapy contracts with most major insurance providers. Prior to your first therapy appointment, our qualified staff verifies your insurance benefits and reviews them with you so there are no surprises regarding your cost for therapy. Most insurance plans require you to make a “copayment” at each visit.
