Background: Uber’s New Legal Initiative in California A new Uber-backed ballot initiative – officially titled the “Protecting Automobile Accident Victims from Attorney Self-Dealing Act” – has been filed for the November 2026 California election . This proposed constitutional amendment is s...

Fundamental Physics Principles Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = m·a) is the foundational law governing crash dynamics and injury causation. In a collision, the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt) determines acceleration (a = Δv/Δt). A key distinction is that vehicle accelera...

This memorandum explains why the common fund doctrine does not legally compel private lien-based medical providers, such as chiropractic clinics, to reduce their liens in California personal injury cases. Attorneys sometimes cite Lee v. State Farm (1976) and Samura v. K...

AI can lighten chiropractic documentation when used with guardrails. I capture encounters by voice, transcribe, then have AI summarize strictly from the transcript, remove value‑laden words, and add human sign‑off. This workflow reduces typing, improves completeness, and stays med‑legal...

Today, advanced imaging and case studies have provided evidence of microstructural white matter injuries in some whiplash patients, offering insight into pathophysiology and validation for those reporting persistent symptoms....

Not all rear-end crashes are alike. The severity of a collision – and the resulting injuries – can vary widely based on the speed change (delta-V) involved....

Healing of musculoskeletal tissues follows inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases, but not all tissues heal equally. Ligaments, muscles, intervertebral discs, areolar connective tissue, and bone differ in vascularity, cellularity, and matrix composition, which drives their timelines and ...

Clinical Accuracy and Sensitivity of DEXA Scans Measuring Soft Tissue Mass: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is well known as a bone density test, but it also quantifies soft tissue composition. A DEXA body composition scan can distinguish lean mass (primarily muscle) from fat mass in the who...

This report dives deep into the biomechanics of the Zottman curl and why the pronated eccentric phase is so effective...

Some early evidence hinted that GLP-1 RAs could positively affect mood, especially in patients with metabolic conditions. Improved blood sugar control and weight loss often lead to better energy and self-esteem, which can translate into improved mood....
