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The finding is from a unpublished study of 100 patients attending the Mater Hospital pain management service, revealed in a paper by two leading neurosurgeons..
According to the Irish Times, Jack Philips and Ciaran Bolger, neurosurgeons at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin describe whiplash as a 'concept' surrounded by 'myths' and not based on scientific evidence.
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.
