The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the original award to include an injury to the applicant's head, in addition to her back. However, they affirmed the finding of $0%$ permanent disability and no need for further medical treatment. This decision relied on the applicant's primary treating physician's opinion, deeming it more persuasive and giving significant weight to the WCJ's credibility finding of the applicant. The amendment to include the head injury was based on the WCJ's report acknowledging a concussion, even if subjective complaints of headaches were not found credible.
