They must either do an x-ray or an MRI first before physical therapy unless its a soft tissue injury and all you need is a massage.... if it involves a possible ligament injury or anything to do with back or nerve pain due to spinal issues they must see what's going on with you first...Sure they do.
You didn't say you had it x-rayed... in that case they were able to see what the problem was so the wrong therapy wouldn't do something bad to you... but most MRI's are for much more serious problems as in the spine or brain... I was correct to say they need to see imaging whether its an x-ray or MRI before using physical therapy... or they can really hurt people...
I'm betting you didn't even need an MRI....
My problem was much more serious and I don't live in a crowded city... we have four imaging centers but my insurance plan with Dignity only allows me to go to one of theirs...
I could have driven 150 miles to a VA hospital but the wait wasn't much better... so I did what my doctor advised...
WE shouldn't have to wait so long for relief... Obama care did this to us....
They wouldn't have approved an MRI if the x-ray showed absolutely nothing... its must have showed inflammation...And you are wrong again. The x-ray came back clean, the MRI found found a rotator cuff tear and a SLAP tear along with "severe osteoarthritis, none of which show up in an x-ray.
Yes, as I said up above, how long one waits depends a great deal on where they live. I live in a metro area with just under 3 million people in it, though I live across the Mississippi river from most of them.
And you are correct, ObamaCare was terrible for rural hospitals, it drove them out of business at record levels.
They wouldn't have approved an MRI if the x-ray showed absolutely nothing... its must have showed inflammation...
Mine was a disc issue and severe sciatica... the therapist wouldn't touch me without an MRI....
X-ray sure. Most dr offices have those in house. No waiting. YOu specifically said "MRI".They must either do an x-ray or an MRI first before physical therapy unless its a soft tissue injury and all you need is a massage.... if it involves a possible ligament injury or anything to do with back or nerve pain due to spinal issues they must see what's going on with you first...
I can usually see a specialist within a few weeksTo see a specialist its a 4 month wait... To get an MRI its 2 months.... so you can be in severe pain for 6 to 9 months before you even see a surgeon..... that is what broken healthcare looks like.
Also.... its time to make big pharma commercials and ads illegal...
