A niche factor: that with chiropractic care exceeding 60% of treatment provided for accident-related injuries, having an experienced chiropractic physician—“a like professional”—with expanded postgraduate education reviewing cases that integrate chiropractic modalities, makes the determination of medical necessity and reasonable/customary continuity carry much more weight than expert medical opinions from professionals outside the chiropractic field. Expertise in case audits and reviews stems from knowledge of injury causation, demonstrative evidence, and functional losses. I have been presented for voir dire by the courts as an expert witness and have provided medical opinions based on an understanding of trauma care documentation and knowledge of the biomechanics of injury. This includes spinal trauma pathology, ligament anatomy, injury research, spinal kinematics, the biomechanics of traumatic disc bulges, age dating of herniated disc pathology, spinal biomechanical engineering, ...

Richard A Owen, DC

Gilbert Chiropractic

Bradenton, Florida
Chiropractic - years treating injured patients from auto, slip/fall, work, domestic, and recreational injuries. I have performed many depositions and a few trials. Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of spine and extremity injuries.
I am just getting started in this area. I worked with a chiropractor in Las Vegas who was one of the top IME DC's in Las Vegas. I studied the 5th edition but ended up her in Florida with the 6th edition. In my private practice I rented space to IME DC's and MD's. So, although I have never performed an actual IME impairment, I have witnessed the process and procedures and have had experience learning from others. I have 35 years of clinical experience with the focus on personal injury (auto, work, fall), sports injuries, and both chronic and acute lumbar disc pathologies. I have worked with many attorneys over the years which includes multiple depositions and a few trials. I have done record reviews in the past. I have excellent clinical skills, very proficient in thorough examinations, and report writing. I can be very objective as well.
