WHAT TO EXPECT ON MY FIRST VISIT AND KEYS TO A
GREAT EXPERIENCE AT TRI-STATE PHYSICAL THERAPY
All of our patients are very important to us, and we keep our patients’ best interests in mind with
every decision we make. In order to continue to provide the highest level of one-to-one care to
our patients, we had to make the difficult decision to only accept traditional Medicare and
TriCare or TriWest as of March 2, 202
One could get a referral from their healthcare provider, or may be seen directly if their insurance
does not require a referral (for example, traditional Medicare). Just give us a call or send a
message in the Contact section of our website (www.tsphysicaltherapy.net) to set up an
appointment. We are by appointment only. Please state your future availabilities and preferred
times of the day, and we will do our best to cater to your preferences. This will depend on our
existing patient volume and the for those who have special needs due to their medical condition
Once we get a referral and had preliminary verified your insurance, we call to verify more
information before setting up the appointment for the physical therapy evaluation. It is best to
always follow up with your referring provider to fax the order to (928) 248-0443, or for some
individuals who live close to our clinic, hand the referral over to us
Aside from general orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions, we specialize in chronic pain
conditions stemming from an old injury or experience in the past. You will be seen by a licensed
Board-Certified and Fellowship-trained Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced training in
orthopedic manual physical therapy practice in a private room/space to discuss your medical
condition(s) and specific rehabilitation goals. We focus on pain science education, lifestyle
management/coaching, personalized exercise programming, and empowerment. We always
keep up to date with our approaches and offer what is evidence-based to all our patients. We
are usually the last stop when our patients have seen many practitioners in the past. If you
prefer to be in a physical therapy clinic with a lot of exercise equipment, constant social
interactions, and supervision, we are more than happy to refer you to another facility that
provides that
We see the various orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions, but not limited to the following:
- whiplash-associated disorders
- cervicogenic headaches
- tension-type headaches
- migraine headaches
- facet joint syndromes
- cervical radiculopathy
- mechanical neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- shoulder impingement/rotator cuff syndrome
- tennis/golfer’s elbow
- temporomandibular dysfunction.
- mechanical low back pain
- multifidus dysfunction
- primary piriformis syndrome
- lumbar radiculopathy (“sciatica”)
- hip dysfunction
- hip/knee osteoarthritis
- patellofemoral pain syndrome
- ligament injuries
- shin splints
- joint sprains
- muscle strains
- Achilles tendinosis
- plantar fasciitis
- BPPV (benign-paroxysmal positional vertigo)
We offer the following advanced physical therapy services (when indicated):
- spinal and joint mobilization/manipulation (not chiropractic)
- myofascial decompression/cupping
- dynamic integrative dry needling (not acupuncture)
- microcurrent point stimulation (not your regular TENS unit)
- transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (a non-invasive procedure which helps with chronic
- pain, sleep, and stress
Good question. As of this time, most insurance carriers, including traditional or managed
Medicare, don’t cover dry needling (always check your PT benefits for the current insurance
provider). We offer this as an add-on cash service billed per visit when medically necessary and
safely indicated. How much? Not more than a usual copay would cost. Check in with us for the
current rate
As of March 2026, our clinic is at 1510 E Wagon Wheel Ln Ste 110, Fort Mohave, AZ
86426. It is inside the Tri-State Pain Institute at Suite 110, right next to Tri-State Primary
Care and Academic Urgent Care. The building is right next to Valley View Medical Center,
across E Wagon Wheel Ln, after turning from Highway 95. Head over to the front desk and
mention if you are a new patient or a returning patient, specifically for Physical Therapy. Be
prepared to present your Photo ID, insurance card(s), completed intake form (if completed at
home), and other important documents needed for the visit.
Yes. To prepare for your first visit, it is better to complete patient forms (print or electronic) ahead
of your appointment to save time (15 minutes earlier). Feel free to leave your best email address
in the Contact section of our website if you would like us to send your intake forms ahead of
time. Completing the form to the best of your knowledge helps us understand your condition
better
Bring your referral (highly recommended if available), insurance card(s), and photo ID to your
first appointment so our team can verify your benefits and coverage. If you have blood work
and/or imaging results available, and current medication list, it is recommended to bring them on
your first visit. You may also bring your assistive device or wheelchair (if you have one), bottled
water, and a face towel on your follow-up visits.
Your first visit will include an evaluation. This lets your provider assess your current health
situation, symptoms, and discuss your goals. This process can last up to an hour or so,
including paperwork, and might include treatment if necessary. Follow-up visits could take up to
an hour or less with a frequency of 1-3x/week, depending on many factors such as distance
from home, financial status, medical condition(s), transportation, etc. Depending on a specific
condition, we establish a plan of care averaging 2-3 months with the expectation that once could
sustain performing their exercise program at home and/or in a gym at the end.
You may bring one friend, family member, or caregiver with you to your evaluation. For future
visits, you’ll be seen alone to protect your privacy and the privacy of other patients. Minors
require a parent or a guardian for every visit
This situation happens every now and then. If your referring provider is not aware of your
scheduled surgical procedure that would greatly impact your participation in physical therapy, it
is good to inform them of this and discuss your potential options. If your physical therapy referral
is related to that surgical procedure (e.g., a prehab to strengthen muscles or joints before a
procedure), then one may proceed to see us for their evaluation

We don’t speak Spanish; however, a family member or friend may act as an interpreter only if
the patient requests it, understands that a free professional interpreter is available, and agrees
to use the personal interpreter. Let us know ahead of time if a professional medical interpreter
will be needed
