Medico Legal Services

We provide services for the biggest personal injury solicitors in the UK and insurance intermediaries who refer clients for Physiotherapy.

What is Whiplash?

This is the very general term used for any spinal injury sustained as a result of a road traffic accident (RTA). A normal history is a rear-end collision and the head/ neck jolt forwards and backwards excessively, causing injury to the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the spine. It is normally the neck that is affected.
Whiplash symptoms generally don’t develop immediately. However, gradually over the next few days, and can present as increasing stiffness and pain, as well as reduction of movement.

Medico Legal Services: How can Ontime Physio help?

All our physiotherapists specialise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of neck and low back pain. Accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure onward referral. Especially if it is a severe injury, and for reassurance that their injury will recover with time. If appropriate, we will provide manual therapy techniques to reduce pain and restore a normal range of movement. We provide therapeutic exercise to enhance and maintain improvements, as well as ergonomic advice to reduce the strain in prolonged positions.

Medico Legal Services: Do I receive a report after treatment has finished?

When customers come to us via an insurance intermediary, we supply reports as part of our agreement with the particular company. If you are coming via self-referral, your acting solicitor can request a copy of the notes. He also can ask for us to present a discharge report detailing injuries sustained, response to treatment, and long-term prognosis. We will issue a fee upon request before we release relevant documents. We charge in line with standard recommended prices.
