The patient states that they were traveling eastbound on the 60 Freeway when the car behind them was struck by another vehicle; the force of which caused that vehicle to strike the patient s vehicle from behind. The force of that impact pushed the patient's vehicle forward, causing it to strike the vehicle in front of it. Upon impact the patient's head and body were jolted forward and backward multiple times. She experienced immediate pain and sensation in her neck. The police were called to the scene. A report was filed. No medical attention was rendered at the scene. The patient reported that her pain increased overnight and that she had difficulty sleeping due to her accident-related injuries.

Based on these findings, the patient was recommended to continue with the conservative treatment twice per week for a period of four weeks.

6 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The patient sustained injury to her neck, back, and shoulders in a motor vehicle accident, which occurred on June 17, Since the patient s initial presentation on June 25, 2007, she has been treating at this office and has participated in a course of chiropractic manipulation and physiotherapy to facilitate a prompt and successful recovery. At the time of final evaluation, the patient had minor residual symptomatology. FUTURE MEDICAL CARE: Provisions for the future medical care should be made to include re-examinations and short courses of physical therapy, should the patient s symptoms become exacerbated. PROGNOSIS: The prognosis in this case is guarded. In view of the nature of the injury this patient sustained, it is quite probable that she will continue to have exacerbations and remissions at intervals in the future. These exacerbations can be brought on by stress, strenuous physical exertion, and, sometimes, by ordinary daily activities. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information concerning this patient.
