Why Our Physical Therapy Clinic Is Different
Physical therapy at OrthoCare Georgia is a core part of how we take care of you—not just something we send you out for after a visit. By opening our own PT clinic in the same year we opened the practice, we can guide you from diagnosis to rehab with one connected team.
Your therapist can see your OrthoCare notes, talk directly with Dr. Ghattas about your progress, and adjust your plan so everyone is working toward the same goal: getting you back to the life you want to live.

Common Treatment FAQs
-
Not all orthopedic injuries require surgery. In fact, many conditions can be successfully treated non-surgically with physical therapy, regenerative medicine, or minimally invasive procedures. The best course of action is determined by your specific injury, lifestyle, and goals.
-
Recovery time varies based on the severity of your condition and the treatment approach. Non-surgical treatments often show results within a few weeks, while surgical procedures typically have recovery periods ranging from four weeks to several months, depending on the procedure.
-
Most insurance plans cover orthopedic treatments, but coverage details depend on your provider and policy. We offer insurance verification and prior authorizations to ensure you understand all options before starting treatment.
-
In many cases, yes. Physical therapy, injections, and regenerative medicine can provide long-term relief for mild to moderate conditions. Surgery is only recommended when conservative methods fail or the damage is severe.
