Chirodoc, I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment that you can use a heating pad and create the same type of heat pattern that would result from an injury. With a heating pad you would create a massive area of heat that would encompass several muscle structures. Back injury is usually specific to vertebra, disk or individual muscles. A pinched nerve due to a misaligned disk will show intense heat at the point of injury and emanate from there. A particular muscle that is pulled will show heat in that particular muscle and does not have to involve other muscles. The heat pad example on the other hand will just show everything in the area with an all encompassing heat pattern. Any heat that will be generated from a heating pad is temporary in nature and would have cooled down to almost nothing after they leave home drive to the doctors office and then sit and wait to be examined. An actual injury on the other hand will continue to show a heat pattern.

If a patient has declared a workmen's compensation injury and that injury can not be identified to a specific cause such the vertebra, disk or specific muscle then the claim can be denied, saving the individual states vast sums of money considering how many fraudulent claims there are for back injury.

Obviously there is a larger market for every women going in once a year for a breast screening than there is for the workmen's compensation market, but it is still a source of income that shouldn't be overlooked.
