Medical Evaluation and Treatment

To evaluate musculo skeletal conditions, the physician will obtain a history of aggravating activities that provoke pain and of activities that relieve symptoms. He will also obtain a history of previous diagnostic tests, history of prescribed and over the counter medications and treatment that have succeeded in reducing symptoms After assembling this information, the physician will diagnose possible causes of the condition and organize a treatment plan to exclude similar musculo skeletal conditions that might mimic it. He will initiate a plan of treatment utilizing medications, exercises, independent exercises for the patient to perform to increase activity physical therapy, and ergonomic adaptations.

Medical Legal Evaluation

As part of a medical legal evaluation, the physician will evaluate the medical condition that has caused a disability or that resulted from an injury, assess whether the condition has reached maximal medical improvement or permanent and stationary status, assess the level of permanent disability that has arisen in total and the percent that arose as a result of an event or injury. The evaluation is methodical, entails a lengthy interview and a thorough physical examination of the musculo skeletal or neurological condition so that it conveys an accurate depiction of the disability.

Long Term Disability Evaluation

A long term disability requires a history of the musculo skeletal condition, a complete examination of the condition in regard to range of motion, strength, sensation, function, balance, movement, orthopedic or neurological deficits and diagnostic tests. The findings will be assembled into a cohesive and accurate assessment of the level of medical disability and work-related function. As an independent medical evaluation, Dr. Kimelman focuses on objective findings that can be measured and reproduced in order to provide a fair and honest appraisal .

Neuro Physiological Evaluation

To accurately assess neurological deficits or conditions, especially in conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or other peripheral nerve entrapment, neuro-electro-physiologic studies involving electrical stimulation of nerves to assess conduction velocity and needle examination of muscles to assess for loss of nerve supply or innervation is often helpful. With such tests, a more accurate diagnosis can be achieved. Dr. Kimelman is board certified in performing and interpreting such studies.
