Insurance

Although we are in-network with some insurance companies, to avoid mis-information from customer policies leading to denied claims, we will offer a Superbill for a medical massage after the service has been paid and rendered.

Believe it or not, not all policies accept medical massage provided by a licensed massage therapist.

Q & A

What is covered through insurance?

Every policy is different so it is recommended that you speak to your specific insurance representative to provide you the details if a medical massage can receive reimbursement if "rendering provider is a licensed massage therapist." Medical Massage can be provided at the rate of 30, 45 or 60 minutes to address the medical diagnosis and the body parts your prescription mentions. A medical massage is not a full body massage.

Do I need a Prescription Referral?

Yes. We do not have the capabilities to diagnose your musculoskeletal issue. The Superbill will require the medical diagnosis codes that can be received from your PCP or referring doctor.

Do I need to book a Massage Consultation?

Yes. A massage consultation is required to book a medical massage. The following will be clarified:

1. Verification of Your Insurance from our Office - We will let you know your eligibility and benefits if approved by your insurance policy

2. Recommended Referral to provide your PCP to order an accurate prescription. - We will perform a comprehensive on table assessment to specify which areas we would like to address, otherwise, we can only perform the session on what the script strictly states.

What is therapeutic massage?

Who might need therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic massage focuses on relieving pain. This type of massage gets to the root of pain and helps to heal the pain-causing problems from deep within the body.

What happens in therapeutic massage sessions?

The Inner G Restorative and Holistic Care team customizes therapeutic massage sessions based on your needs and goals. The massage can include a variety of techniques and tools, including:

Trigger point therapy: Seeks the knotted areas within your muscles and involves deep breathing with medium-to-deep pressure applied to help smooth those knows

Myofascial Release: Releases focuses on the fascia, (the thin-but-strong web-like tissue wrapping around your muscles). When these tissues are stressed, they tighten and can squeeze muscles, leading to trigger points. Myofascial release involves manual pressure to stretch the fascia, restore its elasticity, and break down the knotted trigger point beneath it.

Cupping therapy: Massage therapists use special small cups to create suction on your skin. This draws the skin upward into the cup and helps to ease pain, improve circulation, and relieve inflammation.

Facilitated stretching: is a special technique to improve your muscle elasticity. This, in turn, improves your range of motion and flexibility, both of which often suffer when you’re in pain.

The team uses a combination of these approaches in many cases. Therapeutic massage techniques use medium to firm pressure. While they can have relaxation benefits, it’s a very different experience than the signature massage, which focuses entirely on relaxation.

You might need therapeutic massage if you have acute or chronic pain due to a sports injury, traumatic injury, or chronic condition. Therapeutic massage is also very helpful for people who struggle with their range of motion and mobility due to pain or injury. Some patients may come in for therapeutic massage as part of their rehab following surgery.

Inner G Restorative and Holistic Care can help with pain management and injury recovery using the full spectrum of therapeutic massage techniques. If you’re struggling with pain or mobility problems, call the Ravenswood office or click on the provided online scheduling tool to arrange your personalized therapeutic massage today.
