Dano Ybarra Discusses Critical Data in PI Cases

This episode highlights Dano Ybarra’s insights on using objective data to enhance personal injury documentation, enabling improved patient care and outcomes.

n this episode of the PIERS Association Podcast, host Roxy Cross sits down with Dano Ybarra, President & CEO of JTECH Medical, to talk about one of the most critical—and often underutilized—pillars of personal injury care: objective data.

Dano explains how JTECH’s technology helps chiropractors transform routine PI examinations into objective, visual, courtroom-ready reports that attorneys, insurers, patients, and even jurors can easily understand. Instead of relying solely on “it looks like your neck doesn’t turn as far,” JTECH systems capture precise range of motion, grip strength, and functional deficits, then convert that data into narrative reports that clearly communicate impairments and progress.

In this conversation, Roxy and Dano explore:
The difference between subjective observations and objective, defensible data
How JTECH’s wireless tools capture ROM, strength, and impairment metrics in minutes—not hours
Why visual graphs and clear narratives make such a difference in depositions and court
How showing patients their own objective progress keeps them in care beyond “the pain went away”
Why dominant-hand differences matter—and what it means when those patterns suddenly flip post-injury
How impairment ratings are calculated (behind the scenes) and why attorneys and insurers care so much about them
Real-world stories of denial rates dropping dramatically when JTECH reports are submitted
How chiropractors can use JTECH to stand out with attorneys and become “top of the referral list”

Dano also talks about the business side: how JTECH supports doctors with training, billing guidance, and implementation so the investment makes sense clinically and financially. From better documentation to stronger PI cases to more complete patient outcomes, this episode highlights how the right tools can elevate every part of the PI ecosystem.

At its core, this episode is about clarity, credibility, and helping chiropractors deliver care—and documentation—that no one can ignore.
