It develops quietly, often long after the initial incident, and far too often goes unrecognized until it's already changed everything. This session cuts through the complexity with practical, expert-led insight you can put to use immediately.

When someone is injured in a motor vehicle accident, the conversation quickly turns to imaging, diagnosis, and prognosis. But chronic pain doesn't always show up on a scan - and that's exactly what makes it so easy to miss. This webinar explores how chronic pain develops after injury, why standard assessments sometimes fall short, and how the distinction between aggravation, exacerbation, and new injury can make or break a medico-legal opinion.
Led by Dr. Abdel-Rahman Aly, a Royal College–certified Physiatrist and Pain Medicine Subspecialist with over a decade of IME experience, this session bridges the gap between clinical complexity and practical application. Whether you're building a case, managing a claim, or coordinating care, this is the clarity you've been looking for.
