it's up to the physical therapist NOT THE DOCTOR how long PT goes for. the only reason you have a prescription from the doctor is because your insurance requires it. otherwise you dont need a prescription at all to see a PT. physical therapists are healthcare professionals with extensive education (many have their doctorate) and are referred to by physicians for their expertise. just like a primary care physician may refer someone to a cardiologist, PT is a SPECIALTY.
HOWEVER, just like any other healthcare provider you might go to, if you dont agree with the physical therapist you are entitled to a second opinion. Try another PT if you are not happy. you deserve to get the best treatment possible. so the point is that the doctor does not dictate how long you see a PT or the type treatment (although they often like to make recommendations to the PT) it is up to the physical therapist. the only reason the MD is involved is to satisfy your insurance company. anyone can see a physical therapist with out a doctor's referral/script, but most (not all!) insurances will not re-imburse without it. hope this helped! and if your not better yet dont settle!! get someone else to treat the prob! good luck!
