At SPARK the emphasis of physical therapy care is on patient outcomes and not on how many patients we see on any given day. It has become the norm for orthopedic clinics to get bogged-down in red tape and paperwork in order to serve their patients.
Clinicians are forced to expedite treatment and delegate responsbility in order to maintain their standards. While other physical therapy settings aim to drive volume to their clinics, SPARK will aim to drive patient outcomes to new heights.
We have elected to keep the insurance companies out of the patient care decision-making process. In this way we may maintain our focus on the ultimate goal of improving our patient's health and wellness.
As a SPARK Physical Therapy patient, you will be able to seek reimbursement from your health insurance company. We provide all of our patients with the necessary documentation to be reimbursement at your convenience.
We feel that this is the best way to maintain the high value of our service and deliver the most effective care possible.

PrognosisWhile is it impossible to predict the exact number of treatments necessary and the complexities in each case, we are sure that your results will be significant.
Using these treatments, patients typically see improvement of most or all symptoms within 6–8 sessions over 3–4 weeks. Additionally, this time allows us to teach each patient all of the necessary components to a comprehensive home exercise program as well as introduce them to lifelong fitness programming that will keep them out of their physician's office! Patient education and empowerment is a top priority.
Pain is not a something we should learn to live with.
Let us help you achieve a pain-free, high-performance life.
