This week, a gentleman called us because of leg pain. He was playing softball, and when he pushed off to run, he heard a pop. I had him come in during my lunch break because I just had to know if he had torn something. It’s awful when someone has a serious injury and is told to wait before being seen. I also told him that if he had torn something, I wouldn’t charge him. Unfortunately, based on my examination, I believe he did. I gave him instructions, answered his questions, and we set up an appointment for rehabilitation down the road.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation and believe you’ve seriously hurt yourself, don’t play the guessing game. Give us a call! Physical therapists are trained to examine injuries without an x-ray or MRI. And if you have a tear, I won’t charge you.

Otherwise, a cup of coffee is appreciated.
