What is physical therapy? Do you take insurance?

We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms, helping you regain mobility and live pain-free. Physical therapy is care that is designed to ease pain and improve function, movement, and quality of life performed by a licensed physical therapist. People of all ages benefit from physical therapy and it is used to treat a large variety of injuries and health problems. Many times physical therapy pre

vents the need for surgery and/or prescription medications. We welcome everybody to our clinic whether you have insurance or not. Dr. Chelsea is an out-of-network provider for all insurance policies. We will gladly provide you with a Superbill that can be submitted for reimbursement to your insurance company. Insurance contracts dictate what treatment is allowed and how many times you can be seen. Thrive Physical Therapy values patients first and foremost, and prioritizes their care. We don’t want insurance deciding how you should be treated, and neither should you. We can’t wait for you to experience the benefits of direct access to physical therapy! Dr. Chelsea offers a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions and see if this is the right clinic for you. Call 913-754-0700 to schedule. What methods of payment do you accept? We require that all charges be paid for at the time of service. We accept cash, HSA cards, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, debit cards, and mobile wallets. If you have an FSA, or Health Share, you will need to self-pay at the time of service, and we will provide a Superbill to submit to your FSA or Health Share for reimbursement. Do I need a referral from a physician? Kansas is a direct access state which means you do NOT need a referral from a doctor. Patients that participate in direct access have been able to enjoy some of the perks that come with seeing a physical therapist first. These include:
• Avoiding long wait times and expensive testing
• Better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels
• Pain relief without the dependency on Opioids
• Reducing or removing the need for surgery

Who is physical therapy for? The short answer is that physical therapy is for everyone. The goal of physical therapy is to improve your quality of life, so anyone who wants to improve their quality of life through movement is a candidate for physical therapy. What should I wear to my appointment? We recommend you wear something easy to move in and comfortable. How is pain management at Thrive Physical Therapy different from other pain management clinics? First and foremost, physical therapists do not prescribe medication. Medication may manage the pain but doesn’t treat the cause of the pain. Physical therapy focuses on retraining your body in order to treat the pain. Dr. Chelsea educates you about what is happening in your body, why it is happening, and how to fix it. She gives you the tools to independently manage pain now and in your future so you don’t have to rely on healthcare providers or prescription medication.

Long story short, 23 years ago I started getting really sick and having a lot of unexplained, scary symptoms that took 3 years to diagnose as Lyme disease. 8 years ago I was in the worst health of my life and had to take leave from work. I had never ending pain that nearly broke me, was wheelchair bound when I left the house, and every day was a fight for my life. After tons of treatment from brilliant doctors, I beat the Lyme into submission. It will never be completely gone but I will never stop fighting. Now I am a doctor of physical therapy and own my practice where I specialize in treating chronic pain and complex medical conditions.

Your illness may be invisible, but you are not. I see you, I hear you, I will help you

Raising awareness about Lyme Disease is very important to me for several reasons.

Number one being that I have chronic Lyme and have had it for 23 years now. I know deeply the struggles that come along with Lyme and chronic health conditions.

Number two, I have several patients with Lyme and their stories matter.

Number three is that Lyme is not understood very well by the medical community and it makes life so much harder for those battling this horrific disease.

I will be sharing more about my personal story battling Lyme over the next couple of weeks and I hope it reaches people that need to hear it. Just know I will never stop fighting for my patients and nothing is too complicated to prevent me from helping the people that need it.

This review is the reason I do what I do. I love my job and being able to help people achieve their goals.

"Dr. Chelsea gave me my life back.

I've been in chronic pain for two decades. In 2016, I began experiencing pain at rest, 24/7. Over the past decade, I've had to leave my Ivy-League PhD program, move back in with my parents, and abandon martial arts. I even applied for disability. Although I underwent several major surgeries to repair structural damage, my chronic pain persisted.

I've seen countless specialists—physiatrists, pain management doctors, rheumatologists, and neurologists. Despite over 20 MRIs and countless injections, they either gave me obscure diagnoses that fit their specialty or admitted they had no idea what was wrong. If I questioned them, they dismissed me as if their expertise was immune to doubt.

Dr. Chelsea figured out the source of my pain by truly listening to my concerns and treating me as an individual. She takes a holistic approach, focusing not just on a single joint but considering the entire body in her treatment. She is empathetic, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Ironically, issues dismissed by other doctors proved crucial in my treatment. She also uncovered a major misdiagnosis, accepted as accurate by multiple doctors, that had stalled my recovery for five years.

Since becoming Dr. Chelsea's patient, my pain has radically improved. I'm finally feeling like myself again. I can enjoy a book without neck pain and do activities like going to the gym, walking my dogs, or shoveling snow—things I thought I'd never do without pain.

Yesterday, I ran two miles on a treadmill. The last time I tried to run was in 2020. For the first time in my life, I ran without pain and I didn’t hurt the next day. Her treatment plan is life-changing, and I'd recommend Dr. Chelsea over any physical therapist."
