Jim Stepanich of RTP Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy reminds No RX required for PT in Illinois

ELMHURST, Ill. - Jan. 17, 2019 - illiNews -- In 2018, Illinois joined states like Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, to become the 45th state to allow patients direct access to physical therapy.

This means that Illinois residents no longer need to obtain a doctor's prescription or a physician's referral before starting treatment. This law change is expected to help reduce unnecessary MRIs, ultrasounds, and X-rays.

As a leading outpatient physical therapy services provider, RTP Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy (www.RTPRehab.com) is where Chicago's Western Suburbs come for sports medicine and physical therapy.

RTP offers personalized one-on-one patient care with the goal of "Helping You Return To Play".
