Hello Djpmrp,
Welcome to the Healthboards for Back Problems. I am sorry that you suffer with so much pain. I would suggest finding another doctor besides just a chiropractor for your injury's. I am not at all familiar with workman's comp but maybe another member will come along who can better assist you with that issue. I think you would be best seeing either an orthopedic or neuro surgeon. I was able to find most of the chiro codes for you. I hope this helps you to better understand them. Good luck to you.

Hi djpmrp--I was in an accident a year ago and it was very hard for me to decide if i should get a lawyer or not. [url removed] is a great website to check out. They have message boards and lawyers, insurance adjusters and a lot of different people reply to your questions on there and you may find it useful. I did. I completely agree with Tomorrow that you should be seeing a dr other than a chiropractor.Good Luck.

I tried to go without a lawyer and had to get one also. Don't wait, get one! be sure to check around good. Make sure he has been to court for and had real cases. Don't get the ones on tv! There is a big difference between a chiropractor and a doctor. I saw only doctors. If you have a bad bulging disc or nerve problem you do not want them to touch you. They can cause alot more damage than you have. You want precise readings and results. You will only get these from a real surgeon! Hope this helps.
