PRACTICE POINTS:
Somatoform Disorder, though frequently underplayed in Personal Injury litigation, is often the key to Plaintiff success
In the frequent mismatch between Personal Injury Symptoms and no objective findings, look to psychiatrist and forensic psychologists to establish Causation
Though a sensitive technique for detecting abnormalities in the Lumbar Spine, MRI usually fails to elucidate causes of Low Back Pain
Apart from Antidepressant medication no Evidence-Based treatments can be recommended for Chronic Low Back Pain
The optimistic prognosis arising from studies of Low Back Pain treatment outcome does not apply to clients seeking Compensation
