FAQs
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
Pin-Point PT is out of network for various reasons. With insurance premiums and deductibles being as high as they are, often times cash-pay rates with more personalized care will end up saving patients' cost. Pin-Point PT does not have any facility rates, which can be very high elsewhere. Payment methods include FSA, HSA, cash, credit, debit, and check. Superbill receipts can be given for self-submitting out of network benefits.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Pin-Point PT is located at Paragon Health and Fitness in Rocky River Ohio:
19970 Ingersoll Dr, Rocky River, OH 44116
DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?
No! The state of Ohio does not require a referral for physical therapy, especially for cash-based services!
HOW LONG ARE APPOINTMENTS?
Initial evaluations and screenings for physical therapy will be 60 mins with follow-up sessions being roughly the same time depending on patient needs. Dry needling only sessions will be 15-30 mins depending on needs.
WHAT IS YOUR NEW PATIENT PROCEDURE?
Intake form and consent forms will be sent to the patient to fill out and bring to PinPoint PT, or will be provided at the initial session. The initial examination will include a history taking of the patient's present function, possible deficits and functional goals that they want to achieve with physical therapy. It is PinPoint PT's goal to get to know each patient at an individual level to further assist in a customized plan of care.
WHAT IS DRY NEEDLING? HOW DOES IT WORK? WILL IT HURT?
Dry needling is a minimally invasive therapy technique which can help stimulate blood flow to sore muscles, tendons, and trigger points. There is also a central effect on the body, helping calm down irritated nerves. Dry needling usually draws no blood and is minimally painful, though soreness afterwards is common.
From The Integrative Dry Needling Website:
"Neurologic Dry Needling (NDN) is the evolution from needling points (myofascial trigger points) to needling the system. NDN is utilized to treat all types of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. These conditions are not limited to orthopedics but are applicable to any condition where inflammation (neurogenic), reduced blood flow and muscle guarding is present. The NDN treatment system is based on peripheral and central neurologic principles, which is not limited by the traditional trigger point paradigm. Using the peripheral nerve mapping model allows a broader opportunity to deliver treatment locally, segmentally, and most importantly systemically. "
"Treatment of acute and sub-acute pain can respond favorably to dry needling that is focused locally i.e. at the site of pain. However, patient tolerance can be a limiting factor with a solely local approach that relies on the all or nothing production of a “twitch”. Failure of this approach may be related to excessive needling dosage required to obtain the goal of exhausting the muscle’s twitch response. The NDN model does not rely on this shot gun treatment approach; varied levels of stimulation and precise targeting of tissue allows a less vigorous dosage, reduced adverse events and better patient tolerance.
