The Doctors who do their Medico-legal work at the Compton Clinic work with Mr C.Davis,an Osteopath.He is able to give an opinion at the time of preparing a report on the likely nature of the physical problem and whether it is likely to be responsive to manipulation or other physical therapy.There are now available clinically validated rules which accurately predict the outcome of manipulation.http://www.spinejournal.com/pt/re/spine/pdfhandler.00007632-200212150-00021.pdf
