Carlsbad Village chiropractor Brian T. Killeen, DC holds Qualified Medical Evaluator designation and California license 15271 from the Plaza Flores complex at 2564 State Street. QME certification through the California Division of Workers' Compensation qualifies the practice for independent medical evaluations on disputed injury claims, a forensic-assessment capability complemented by the sports-performance conditioning at URBN ATHLETE for return-to-work functional testing. The State Street location places the office within Carlsbad Village's walkable health-care cluster, steps from the Carlsbad Farmers Market and the dining corridor on Carlsbad Village Drive. Impairment-rating evaluations often overlap with restorative dental work for TMJ-related claims, an interdisciplinary pathway shared with providers including Carlsbad Beach Dental. Workers' compensation evaluations follow the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment framework, incorporating range-of-motion goniometry, grip-strength dynamometry, and spinal segmental motion analysis.
