[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was referred to a neurologist for some issues. Dr wants to send me for a spine mri but is worried insurance will not approve it unless I will do first few session of physical therapy. Is this a new protocol? [/quote] I've had back issues my whole life, and this has never been my experience. An x-ray, maybe, but PT before imaging sounds like a MASSIVE liability, and a red flag. How is a physio supposed to know what work to do without a clear understanding of the issue(s), especially if they're structural? I don't look nearly as defective as I'm actually built, and wouldn't trust a treatment plan that counted on moving my back without a clear view of what needed moving. Verify this with your insurance, at least. Personally, I'd seek a second opinion, or just switch providers entirely. [/quote]
