Don't let your insurance benefits from 2024 go to waste!

It's hard to believe we're already past the halfway mark of 2024. The new school year for the kids is just around the corner, and soon enough, the holiday rush will be upon us. While summer brings its share of fun and adventure, it's also a time when we often postpone scheduling medical appointments.

However, now is actually one of the best times to do so. By mid-year, many people have either met or are close to meeting their annual deductible. Once the deductible is satisfied, most insurance plans cover appointments, procedures, physical therapy, and other expenses in full. Maximizing these healthcare benefits is crucial.

Consider scheduling orthopedic surgery, like a rotator cuff repair or knee replacement, in August. This timing allows for a few months of follow-up physical therapy and ensures you recover fully before your insurance benefits renew.

Following orthopedic surgery, many patients develop contracture of connective tissue, also known as joint stiffness. Joint stiffness is a race against biology; the longer patients delay effective stretching, the more adhesions (scar tissue) develop and the stiffer soft tissues become. JAS devices utilize a low load, prolonged duration stretch protocol to significantly reduce or eliminate joint contractures developed after trauma or surgery.

JAS is typically used in conjunction with physical therapy to accelerate the healing process.

JAS devices are also beneficial for:

* Patients who may have a limited number of PT visits

* Patients unable to attend in-person therapy multiple times per week for various reasons

* Patients hitting a plateau or losing their range of motion gains between therapy sessions

* Patients who want to travel for the holidays but don't want to delay their recovery process
