About Me

The Magic of Massage Therapy

I was going through intense physical therapy to recover after surgery, and every day I went to bed with sore, achy muscles. Finally, my physical therapist suggest I give massage therapy a try. Massage therapy really helped me relax and unwind after a hard day at physical therapy, but I think it also helped speed my recovery. It helped with blood flow and circulation, and I really felt much better after every session. I liked it so much that I kept going even after I was fully recovered. I started this blog to talk about the magic of massage therapy. It really helped me, and I believe that it can really help others as well. If you’ve been wanting to learn what massage therapy is like and how it helps, you’ll find the answers here on my blog.

Tips For Your Upcoming Independent Medical Examination

If you have been referred to a new doctor for an independent medical examination for whatever reason, such as an injury claim that you have filed, you need to know the best tips for successfully getting through the process. Simply take a moment to check out the following tips and have faith that the process will be a little easier than you might once have thought it was going to be.

Bring A Witness

Many people are fearful that the independent medical doctor is actually working on the side of the insurance company, your employer, or the state and will therefore possibly not give the fairest of examinations. If you later find that you need to file an appeal or dispute the findings of that independent examination, it is best to have a witness to call upon. By having a friend or family member take notes of the questions you are asked, the things you are asked to do, and the tests you are given, he or she will be able to testify in court should you have to file an appeal. For example, if your independent medical examination included just about everything but asking questions that would be directly related to the pain you are in, you might not have received a fair evaluation, whether it was intentional or not.

Request A Copy Of The Report

After your independent medical examination, the doctor will compile a report that will include everything that was done during the visit, the results of any tests, and his or her professional opinion regarding your medical condition. You have a right to a copy of this report, as it is essentially a part of your medical records. Make sure that you are letting the office know that you are going to want a copy of their report. This way, you will have a chance to review his or her findings so that you are more prepared for the filing of an appeal, should you feel that you have to.

As you can see, there are just a few additional things that you might want to do besides simply going through the examination just as you would any other. Just make sure that you are taking your time when expressing your thoughts and symptoms when talking to the doctor and that you are keeping the previously mentioned tips in mind. This way, you will have the best chance of success. For more information, contact a company like UMC Medical Consultants, P.C.
