Work Comp question for Private Practice

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

I recently fought for 2 years to get my practice on a WC panel and succeeded. 

They require a 24-48 hour eval scheduling timeframe.  I'm currently 2-3 weeks

out for an eval slot. 

Is this quick eval standard in WC?

Do you all accomodate this request?

How?  seems like if you left time available, you might get burned.

 

Thanks!

Dave,

A good resource may be a trained PT in Pelvic Pain. Is the pain related to

muscle spasm? What was the mechanism of injury? As therapists I think we

sometimes forget about the pelvic floor and the impact on pain and function.

Have you tried any manual techniques yet, either lumbar or Thieles massage?

Where are you located? Good luck!

To the group: I haven't seen one for quite some time and suddenly I have 3

patients with the same problem. Any ideas what has worked for this type of

patients you have seen in your practice? Donut Pillow etc has been tried

already. Any information would be appreciated.
