`SUPERIOR COURT
`
`J. D. OF FAIRFIELD
`
`AT BRIDGEPORT
`
`AUGUST 4, 2021
`
`
` Pursuant to Practice Book Section 13-4(4), the plaintiff, MARISOL ORDAZ, discloses
`
`DISCLOSURE OF EXPERT WITNESS
`
`ROBERT PESALE, D.C., of Stratford Chiropractic Spine & Injury Center, 2505 Main Street,
`
`Stratford, CT 06604, as an expert witness. Dr. Pesale will testify that as a result of the motor
`
`vehicle accident of August 6, 2019, the plaintiff, suffered:
`
`Low back pain with radicular symptoms to the left lower extremity; upper back pain;
`
`stiffness, tenderness, trigger points, muscle spasms and restricted range of motion; chronic
`
`soft tissue injury to the cervicothoracic spine with myospasm, hypolordosis, and ligamentous
`
`laxity; chronic soft tissue injury to the lumbosacral spine with myospasm; lumbosacral and
`
`cervicothoracic myofascitis, which has resulted in a 5% whole body cervical spine impairment,
`
`which converts to a regional permanent impairment of 14% and a 5% whole body lumbar spine
`
`impairment, which converts to a regional permanent impairment of 7% (DRE Category II injury)
`
`and is directly related to the accident of August 6, 2019. This rating is in accordance with the
`
`AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th Edition.
`
`
`
`Dr. Pesale’s opinion will be based upon his treatment and observations of plaintiff and
`
`his review of the plaintiff's medical records, in conjunction with his training, education, and
`
`experience as a chiropractic physician. Dr. Pesale’s Final Narrative Report dated September
`
`16, 2020, is annexed hereto.
`
`
`
`
`
`Dr. Pesale further opines that the plaintiff may require additional office treatment for
`
`exacerbations. This treatment would be at a frequency of approximately 4-6 times per year.
`
`The cost of the treatment would range from $65-250 per treatment depending upon the
`
`modalities and diagnostic testing utilized.
`
`Dr. Pesale will also provide an opinion regarding the limitations plaintiff can expect to
`
`have in the future as a result of the injuries suffered, treatment provided to plaintiff and the
`
`prognosis for plaintiff.
`
`
`
`These opinions may be introduced by way of written records and reports previously
`
`disclosed with plaintiff's compliance and/or through court testimony.
