Treatment story
How the treatment timeline should read

For this page, the treatment path usually turns on first response: Records tie the injury to the device., imaging: Objective findings support severity., continuing care: Consistency answers causation arguments., and documentation: Bills and future care define economics.. When that sequence is documented, the case story feels more coherent to insurers, attorneys, and anyone reviewing the file.
