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”.

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

Get the correct diagnosis at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy

Nick Rinard Physical Therapy gets results because our therapists are trained to get patients the correct diagnosis, every time.

Many times patients do not get better because they have been misinformed about where the pain is actually coming from.

 

This is what a patient had to say about how she got results from physical therapy from a Nick Rinard physical therapist.

“I had on going hamstring and glut pain that I’d been dealing with for more than 5 yrs. I was referred by a friend & had immediate results along with a new diagnosis. I am now able to address the pain on my own & understand the issue, as well as correct it.”

Call 503-244-6232: Stop living in pain today!

Have you been shocked by what your insurance covers?

As providers we have watched health insurance plans go from zero to affordable deductibles to HIGH deductibles that apply for ancillary services, including PT just within the last few years. 

Many of our patients are unaware of that fact and sound genuinely surprised when we verify insurance benefits. 

Since you may now face a high deductible at any PT clinic you attend, it makes sense for you to go where you will get the best results!

Our results have been measured, and one visit at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is worth two visits at the average Portland area PT clinic.

Nick Rinard patients report 92.5% over-all improvement (versus 73.43% Portland area), in only 6.5 visits (versus 11.16 visits Portland area).

Have you heard of the condition “tennis elbow”?

Did you know that it can be caused by activities other than tennis?!

Any activity that requires repetitive wrist movement can bring on pain at the elbow – like using a computer mouse!

With so many people – adults and children – relying more than ever on technology these days, this type of overuse injury is more likely to develop.

We are here to help! If you or someone you know is having pain, don’t wait! Call us today and get started on recovery.
