Lower Back Injury case study
Our client was involved in a road traffic accident where she sustained neck and back injuries. The impact was very significant on the side of the car and she strained her left sacroiliac joint (lies next to the bottom of the spine).
The symptons affected her work, general activities and family life. She did not respond to a course of physiotherapy and required chiropractic treatment.
She suffered psychological injuries where she was nervous and apprehensive on travelling in a car and suffered flashbacks and intrusive thoughts with occasional nightmares of the accidents.
