Holladay Physical Medicine is a Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine Clinic specializing in Concussion Management, Auto Accident Injury Management and Disc Disease Management. These three areas are uniquely connected as the first two left untreated or treated improperly will eventually lead to the development of the third condition and chronic back or neck pain.
Having managed these conditions well for over 40 years, we know what patients need to resolve acute concussions, avoid Post Concussive Symptoms, resolve soft tissue damage from impact accidents and prevent early onset of disc disease. Our primary focus is concussion management. This necessarily includes Auto Accident Injury Management and Disc Disease Management. Holladay Physical Medicine is a health care clinic providing for the diagnosis and management of physical ailments along with their related symptoms and accompanying conditions. We provide expert evaluation, examination, imaging, laboratory testing and referral when needed. Our clinic director is board certified in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine with Fellowships in Concussion Management and Injection Therapy.
A wide variety of alternative remedies are also available for those who are allergic to certain medications, have not found success or improvement with other forms of medicine or who may be looking to become healthy and reach beyond the traditional treatment of disease. Alternatives to addicting pain medications are also available. In addition to the neuromusculoskeletal medicine component, we provide avenues for absolute health as well as intervention for most injuries.
Many health care providers nowadays claim to be board certified. Frankly, many of these are doctors, therapists, PAs and nurses who attend a weekend course here or there for 8-12 hours and are given a certificate calling themselves “board certified,” as a marketing tool used to deceive the public. True board certification requires a minimum of 300 approved hours sponsored by a legitimate educational program or institution, followed by rigorous examinations both written and practical, consisting of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations of simulated patients and patient scenarios. Doctors with these credentials few and far between. Then there are fellowship awards for specific procedures and conditions that require an additional 100-150 hours of clinical education as well as a battery of tests specific to the specialty. These are even rarer.
We have on staff a physician board certified by the International Academy of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine with fellow credentials in Concussion Management and Injection Therapy. He is the only such credentialed physician in the Salt Lake area.
Financial Responsibility
The cost to see the specialist on your first visit, have your history taken, review your symptoms and any imaging or labs and undergo a specialty examination is $450. Please bring cash or a debit card for this. Costs for all follow-up visits, rehabilitation visits and physical medicine protocol visits vary according to what is performed and are posted in the office for you to see when you arrive.
If you have been the victim of an auto accident and have verified insurance coverage, a claim number and confirmation from the insurance adjuster, we will accept assignment on your insurance claim. We will also accept assignment if you have an attorney who will provide us with and honor a signed lien with us.
If you have insurance coverage from a private company, bring your insurance cards and we will produce claims forms for you to submit to your carrier for reimbursement to you. We do not accept assignment on private insurance claims.
We believe that the human body is designed to function for a long time without breaking down or becoming diseased, provided it is protected from harmful injurious forces, fed properly and kept free from toxicity. People who are able to live lives consistent with those three situations will be free from symptoms and disease and will have little or no cause to see doctors or visit hospitals. People whose situations evolve to include one, two or three of those situations are destined to become perpetual customers of the traditional health care and drug dependent system.
At Holladay Physical Medicine, we are committed to help you identify your status with each of those three components, provide interventions and alternative remedies for you to employ and put you on a path of independent health, free from the clutches seeking to make you perpetual customers.
Most patients who seek our help come because of the harmful forces causing injuries to their bodies. These come in abrupt fashion and sometimes gradual. Once symptoms arise from trauma, we can help restore proper alignment and function. Then it becomes a challenge for everyone to make sure the immune systems takes over and properly and completely repairs the injured sites. Many times, this is when patients discover that the other two situations have not been kept balanced and other steps are needed to achieve a healthy status.
If you’ve had an injury, need intervention and rehabilitation, or want to become healthy, contact Holladay Physical Medicine.
