FAQ

Do I need an MRI or referral first?

No. Iowa has direct access to physical therapy — you can start with us. If imaging would change the plan, we'll help you get it.

Can PT really help my headaches?

If your headaches start at the base of the skull, worsen with desk work, or come with neck tension — very likely yes. Tension and cervicogenic headaches respond well to hands-on treatment and targeted strengthening of the neck and upper back.

How soon will I feel better?

Most patients feel a meaningful difference within the first 2–3 visits. We'll give you an honest timeline at your evaluation.
