Medical pattern
The medical question is not just whether treatment happened. It is whether the record documents the pattern this service often raises: watch delayed neck pain, headaches, range-of-motion limits, radiating symptoms, and treatment gaps. Provider notes from Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center and Doctors Medical Center should connect that pattern to work-restriction documentation and later restrictions.
