Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?

In many cases, no. Illinois allows Direct Access, meaning you can often begin physical therapy without a physician referral. If your insurance requires one, we'll let you know before your visit.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans. We also offer cash-pay options and can provide superbills for eligible commercial insurance reimbursement.

What if I don't have BCBS PPO?

No problem. Many patients choose our cash-pay option, and we can provide a superbill for eligible commercial insurance plans so you can seek reimbursement.

What happens during my first visit?

Your first appointment includes a one-on-one evaluation, discussion of your goals, movement assessment, and a personalized treatment plan.

What conditions do you treat?

We help active adults and athletes recover from orthopedic injuries, sports injuries, post-operative conditions, and persistent pain while improving strength and mobility.

Before seeing Dr. Jake, I thought I needed surgery for the numbness going down my left leg. Even after months of going to the chiropractor, I still had numbness. The first thing Dr. Jake told me was that I don't need surgery and he can help. After 1 visit with Dr. Jake, I had significant reductions in my numbness and tingling. I even felt like I could breath again

Dr. Jake is great!! He really took the time to get to know me and my issues so he could provide me with the most effective physical therapy program. He understands my goal of getting back into the gym and has really tailored my program to that end. Additionally, he takes the time to explain everything he is doing and how it will benefit me. Highly recommend!!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Jake. He has been an incredible help with my back, neck, and shoulder pain. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my concerns and created a plan that not only relieved my pain but also improved my overall movement and function. What makes him stand out is his focus on teaching me better form and body mechanics. Instead of just treating the symptoms, he showed me how to move in ways that prevent future issues and help me stay active in my daily life. His knowledge, patience, and encouragement have made such a positive impact, and I feel stronger and more confident because of his care. I highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and supportive physical therapist who truly cares about his patients’ long-term health and well-being!

I came in to see Dr. Jake thinking I just had shoulder pain. With his expertise, he quickly identified that it was also connected to my neck and nerve issues. I really appreciate his one-on-one attention — it makes such a difference. His hands-on therapy sets him apart from any other therapist I’ve seen. Highly recommend!

Dr. Jake is awesome! I was considering quitting CrossFit due to back pain from lifting. He fixed my form on a number of lifts and I no longer suffer. In addition to that, he found I needed to work on ankle flexibility which improved my squatting ability. He also helped with shoulder pain from golf, overhead lifting, etc. I have worked on strengthening my lats to activate which relieves shoulder pressure. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable!
