Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Tennessee allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book at any Tristar clinic without a physician referral.
Do you take my insurance?
We work with most major insurance plans. Call us with your card and we'll verify your benefits before your first visit.
How soon can I be seen?
Same-day appointments are available at most of our eight clinics. Call (423) 317-7772 or book online.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your therapist will do a thorough evaluation to understand your needs and goals. That evaluation becomes the basis of your personalized treatment plan.
How long is a session?
It varies with your needs, but most sessions last about one hour.
What's the difference between physical and occupational therapy?
Physical therapy focuses mainly on improving mobility and reducing pain. Occupational therapy helps you regain, develop or maintain the skills you need for daily living and work.
What should I bring?
Your insurance card, a photo ID, and any relevant medical records. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, and bring any braces or crutches you use.
