October 15, 2023 Dr. Emily Johnson Johnson Family Practice 123 Wellness Blvd Springfield, IL, 62701 Dear Dr. Emily Johnson, Re: John Doe DOB: March 5, 1980 Thank you for seeing John Doe, who I am referring to you for persistent lower back pain and limited mobility. History: John Doe has been experiencing lower back pain for the past six months, which has progressively worsened. He reports difficulty in performing daily activities and has a history of a herniated disc diagnosed two years ago. He has undergone physical therapy in the past with minimal relief. John is currently taking ibuprofen as needed and has no known allergies. He works as a software engineer and leads a sedentary lifestyle. Examination Findings: On examination, there is tenderness in the lumbar region with restricted range of motion. Muscle spasms were noted in the lower back. Investigations: An MRI of the lumbar spine shows degenerative disc disease at L4-L5. Impression: The clinical impression is chronic lower back pain likely due to degenerative disc disease. Management Plan: I have advised John to continue with gentle stretching exercises and have prescribed a course of osteopathic manipulative treatment to alleviate pain and improve mobility. I would appreciate your assessment and management of this patient. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information. Yours sincerely, Dr. Sarah Thompson Osteopath Thompson Osteopathy Clinic (555) 123-4567
