I think it depends on the insurance company. ;-)
I DID need a referral for physical therapy, but my Ortho' recommended it
(and wrote an undated 'scrip for it for me ) long before I took him up
on it. I started PT at Advanced Rehabilitation in Austin about 3 weeks
ago.

GREAT place, awesome people, and they teach and practice trigger point
therapy. I was already pretty sure that trigger points was what was
causing the chronic right lower leg pain and since even self-therapy for
that is working to control the pain, I have to presume I was right...
