QuestionIn plain everyday English could you translate the Diagnosis from my medical file?
Primary Diagnosis- 847.2 Lumbar Sprain/Strain
Secondary Diagnosis- 724.3 Sciatia Neuralgia or Neuritis
Tertiary Diagnosis- 739.3 Nonallopathic Lesions of Lumbar Region, REC
AnswerDear Leann Antey,
Though such diagnostic impressions are outside the realm of non-therapeutic straight chiropractic in their use, my specific field of expertise, and I offer no comment here about their accuracy or appropriateness, the terminology you're asking about would loosely translate to a low back injury with pain down the leg. These are terms associated with therapeutic fields.
I hope this is of use to you.
Sincerely,
James W. Healey, DC
