Expertise Deamo
Expertise in Chronic Pain Conditions
I am Rodrigo Deamo, a physiotherapist with a doctorate in neurology and a certificate in medical expertise from the University of Montreal. I work as an independent expert in medico-legal matters, outside of the CNESST (Quebec's workplace health and safety commission), preparing expert and counter-expert reports for courts, public bodies, and private insurers.
Clinical, Scientific, and Academic Background
With over 20 years of experience as a clinician and researcher, I have completed two postdoctoral fellowships, as well as advanced training in chronic pain management.
Since 2014, I have led an interdisciplinary team specializing in chronic pain within the public health network, at the Regional Pain Clinic of the CISSS de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue. I also regularly contribute to training, scientific dissemination, and knowledge transfer activities on chronic pain at the national level.
Independent Medico-Legal Expertise
Since 2022, I have been conducting structured medico-legal counter-report, particularly in cases involving the CNESST, SAAQ, IVAC, and the private insurance sector. I also have experience serving as an expert witness before the Administrative Labour Tribunal (TAT).
Approach as Expert
My report is based on a rigorous and methodical analysis, integrating clinical, scientific, and functional data, in strict compliance with the medico-legal framework.
I fully adhere to the fundamental role of the expert, which is to inform decision-makers in an objective, independent, and non-partisan manner.
Scope of my Practice and Medico-Legal Services
My professional activities primarily cover the following areas:
Chronic Pain Expertise
I provide expert assessments of chronic pain, including the analysis of pain mechanisms, the evaluation of functional limitations, and the examination of their clinical consistency within a medico-legal context. These analyses are based on current scientific data and recognized healthcare standards.
Musculoskeletal Expertise
I conduct musculoskeletal assessments focusing on functional impairments, the evaluation of residual capacity, and the analysis of alleged sequelae, particularly in cases involving compensation, insurance, or liability issues.
Expert Advice in Complex Cases
I also act as an expert advisor in complex chronic pain cases, both in rehabilitation and litigation contexts. My role is to inform decision-makers—courts, public bodies, or insurers—about the relevant clinical, scientific, and functional issues.
Professional and Ethical Framework
All of these interventions are carried out within a strictly independent framework, in accordance with professional standards and the specific requirements of medico-legal mandates, guaranteeing an objective, rigorous, and non-partisan approach.
