Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about orthopedic physical therapy? We’ve got answers.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?
No! Maryland is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so we recommend checking with your provider. We’re happy to help you navigate this process.
How long will my sessions last?
Every session at Arpella is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy for a full 60 minutes. This allows us to provide personalized, high-quality care without rushing through your treatment.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We accept most major insurance plans and also offer out-of-network options. Our team will work with you to verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your first visit.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Depending on the area we’re treating, you may need to expose the affected joint or muscle group, so plan accordingly.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks, but every case is unique. During your initial evaluation, we’ll discuss a realistic timeline based on your condition and goals.
What makes Arpella different from other physical therapy clinics?
At Arpella, you’ll receive one-on-one care for the full hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—no assistants, no rotating between therapists. We focus on treating the root cause of your pain, not just masking symptoms, and we empower you with the tools to stay healthy long after discharge.
