A personal injury practice is not for every chiropractic practitioner. To be successful at it you need to be well versed, totally prepared and very educated in this highly selective specialty.
It is definitely not for those who think it is an easy alternative to conventional chiropractic care or for those who suffer stage fright.
If you are in that select group of chiropractors who believe a patient who has suffered a personal injury deserves the best quality care, then this specialty may in fact be for you.
Establishing yourself as an expert in this field does require some skilled training plus a reasonable amount of preparation and follow-through.
It is not by accident that 85% of the personal injury patients go to 15% of the personal injury practitioners.
Basically, a chiropractor that expects to be successful in the personal injury arena understands that certain criteria and skills will be needed and even necessary.
You will have to be able to substantiate the injuries that have occurred. Your SOAP notes, that is Subjective findings, Objective findings, Assessment and Procedures must be well spelled out.
An in-depth history must include a long list of items that we outline in the free special report we have for you.
Your exam includes all of the necessary physical, chiropractic, orthopedic and neurological testing.
If you are somewhat remiss on your standard orthopedic and neurological tests, you need to brush up quickly.
In court, both the opposing doctor and his attorney will know these tests cold. While on the stand you may be asked to recite the significance of a specific test or tests such as the anatomy of the musculature involved.
There is so much more that we can’t include it all here.
