Are you struggling with unclear medical costs and afraid to get help for the pain you are currently experiencing?

This year has brought a lot of unknowns and increased patients’ fear to getting care they need.

You may have noticed that it is getting increasingly difficult for you to get the treatment you prescribe. This can only have negative effects on your overall health for the next few years to follow.

If it’s not fears related to Covid-19, patients are looking at high deductibles, out of pocket costs, required authorizations, and low number of authorized visit per benefit year.

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy’s focused treatment get’s our patients results within just 3-4 visits. 

We promise to discharge you and refer you back to your most trusted health care provider for further evaluation if there is not significant improvement after 4 visits.

We don’t want you taking any unnecessary risks, wasting time or money for ineffective therapies!

You will feel better with the right treatment!

Call 503-244-6232 and/or fax 503-244-7410

Has your doctor referred you to physical therapy but you are afraid of piling medical bills?

 

        Are you finding yourself hesitant to schedule a physical therapy appointment these days?  As insurance covers less and less of physical therapy costs, it is more important than ever that the physical therapy you have been prescribed actually works!  There is nothing worse than receiving a bill from 12, 14, or even 20 visits at traditional physical therapy when it was not effective!

         If you are in pain, you should call Nick Rinard Physical Therapy first. We get results in an average of only 6 visits!  Nick Rinard physical therapists got patients 93% better in only 6.5 visits, when the national (and Portland) average was only 73% better in 11.1 visits.  This means Nick Rinard is TWICE AS EFFECTIVE – and worth the money.

         We check benefits for you so you know what it will cost upfront.  If we are not contracted with a particular insurance, we offer out discounted family and friends rate, no insurance, no bill in the end. We would rather give you a discount than give the insurance the “provider discount”.

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy: When to use a modality and why.

Here at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy, our primary focus is on identifying the mechanical cause of pain and the exercises needed to correct it.

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy Ultrasound Machine, when to use a modality

What is ultrasound? How does it work? Let’s take a look!

Ultrasound waves are sent into the tissues using a handheld probe causing the tissues to vibrate. This vibration can have multiple benefits by breaking down scar tissue to aide in improving function and increasing local blood flow to reduce inflammation and pain. When tissues are inflamed, the cells have to work overtime. This extra work causes increased need for nutrition and increased production of cellular waste, but without an increase in the cells ability to process this waste. The ultrasound vibrations literally shake the waste material out of the cells, which helps them to work more efficiently.

Pretty cool, huh?! Any other science enthusiasts find this fascinating??

Google 5 Star Review

Thank you Randy for your Nick Rinard Physical Therapy experience with the world!

“I lost 90% of the strength in my right thumb. I saw my primary care doctor took some X-rays of my neck where there was significant degradation to my C3/C4 which would explain the loss of strength and increasing pain that I was feeling most likely due to a pinched nerve. We started with an anti-inflammatory medication that eased the pain and restored a little bit of strength and motion but it was temporary and the meds are very harsh and not a long term option. Next step would have been spinal surgery which in my mind wasn’t an option. Decided to visit Nick again. My first time seeing him he helped me back to strength after a medial meniscus hook tear surgery to my right knee. I wanted to see if he could help resolve the problem using PT and not drugs or surgery. I saw him for about 2 months about once per week. Today, yes more than 1 year later I have about 90% of my strength back and 100% of motion back. It took more than 1 year but I now have the tools and the habits to manage it. No surgery, no drugs. Just paying attention to how I sleep with proper neck support, how I sit when working at the computer and exercises that I can do while working to keep improving. Nick gave me the tools and methods to make this happen. Highly Highly recommended. Helped me out twice now.” Randy 09-29-30
