Sorry : Sorry to hear your are having trouble establishing spinal care in your new home. I would recommend searching for a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician in your area. They are physicians specializing in non-operative treatment for low back and neck issues. Their expertise with occupational health and disability issues should help you navigate the challenging area of disability claims and paperwork. Good luck!

Primary care: Start with you primary care doctor who is technically responsible for overall over site of your care. Multiple and long forms are frustrating for doctors, perhaps you could offer up front that you would be willing to lay a reasonable fee for each form. He/she might be more receptive as you are showing respect for the value of their time.
