AXA Equitable and Disability Management Services Approves Benefits For A Chiropractor Suffering From Lumbar And Cervical Disc Disease
Our client, a chiropractor, was involved in motor vehicle accidents in 2005 and 2007, which resulted in him suffering from lumbar radiculopathy and cervical discogenic disease. As a solo practitioner and business owner he attempted to continue to work through the pain by working in a reduced fashion. He modified the techniques he employed for certain chiropractic procedures, and had to eliminate others all together. By the middle of 2008 the worsening pain became such that he realized he would no longer be able to work as a chiropractor. By the end of 2008 he closed his chiropractic office and filed for long term disability benefits under his AXA Equitable Policy.
