			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day I was asked by an insurance company to give my reasoning for ordering an MRI within the first 3 days.  OK, in that case, why order or take an X-ray, why do an exam, why do any orthopedic tests?  Before I go off too much, here was my response, and by the way, if you want more reasoning, just let me know.</p>
<p>Dear Sir or Madam,</p>
<p> When ordering an MRI within the first 3 visits, here are just a few of many reasons for doing so: </p>
<p> <strong>·</strong>X-rays only show a portion of the patient’s potential injuries, it will not show a soft tissue injury; an injury which could possibly be adversely effected by certain types of treatment.</p>
<p> ·When coming up with a treatment plan, a physician needs to know what he or she is treating and what the proper course of care would be, such as needing to be referred out for a surgical consult or any other specialist.</p>
<p> ·It is imperative that conditions be diagnosed as soon as possible in order to treat the problem before further injury occurs.</p>
<p> ·An MRI could find a soft tissue injury which could be dangerous to continue to work at their job, an injury that could have been missed on an x-ray.</p>
<p> If you need further reasoning or have questions, please feel free to call me at the number above.</p>
<p> Sincerely,</p>
<p> Brian Starry, D.C.</p>
