DISQUS

Jason,
Great information that is extremely relevant to all therapists & pts in my opinion. I quote other articles daily about overuse of MRIs and irrelevant data that can be found, even on asymptomatic people. Everyone seems to want an MRI as that will "treat" them.
To go along with this post, I wasn't sure if you get any offices that only keep radiographs in house and get defensive if anyone asks for them. I actually don't go about trying to obtain them if the pt doesn't have them handy; but it has happened in past. You would think after all money and time spent, at least the provider seeing the pt often could at least get a report?
Keep up the good work.
Harrison
It isn't needed for all patients,

Could it be that insurance companies want an MRI done ?
