Additional Information

Chiropractic Physician • Spinal BIomechanics Expert Witness • Independent Medical Examiner Dr. Steven B. Ross, DC, FASBE, DAAPM, is a Chiropractic Physician, Expert Witness, and Independent Medical Examiner with over four decades of clinical, diagnostic, and forensic experience in spinal biomechanics, motor vehicle accidents, and soft-tissue injury analysis. His expertise includes motor-vehicle trauma, cervical acceleration–deceleration injuries, mechanical plausibility assessment, disc and ligament injury, and trip-and-fall events. A Fellow of the American Academy of Applied Spinal Biomechanical Engineering and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Pain Management, Dr. Ross has advanced training in biophysical diagnostics, pathobiomechanical syndromes, and spinal stabilization engineering, forming the foundation of his evidence-based medico-legal evaluations. As an educator and author, Dr. Ross has lectured and written extensively on spinal trauma, biomechanics, and injury documentation, including Occurrence of Recurrent and Chronic Symptoms Following Cervical Soft-Tissue Trauma, Mechanisms of Hyperflexion / Hyperextension Injury Cervical Acceleration – Deceleration (CAD) Injury, and Chiropractic Cervical Manipulation and Arterial Dissection: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Forensic Implications. Retained by both plaintiff and defense counsel, he is recognized for his clear, persuasive explanations of complex biomechanical and causation principles in deposition and trial testimony.
