More than 90 percent of whiplash patients fail to return for additional treatment once their legal action is completed.
The finding is from a unpublished study of 100 patients attending the Mater Hospital pain management service, revealed in a paper by two leading neurosurgeons..

A separate study of patients of a Galway spinal surgeon found that just 10 of 301 were seen in his clinic after their litigation came to an end.
