Why Physical Therapists Order X-Rays and MRIs?
A lot of people in healthcare order lab results, X-rays and MRIs, CT scans because they don't know what's wrong. A good reason to get an MRI is you build a case for ruling out something this could be or putting you closer to a prognosis that you can action. If physical therapists in the States got a well-musculoskeletal visit once a year for everybody who had insurance and they got reimbursed, an evaluation fee for that,. I think a lot of PTs would do a musculatedoskeletal evaluation, not a lifestyle and movement screen.
