On August 5, 1970 petitioner consulted William B. Risley, D.C., because she was unsatisfied with her progress. Dr. Risley's examination revealed that petitioner suffered from an acute traumatic cervical lumbosacral strain with associated myofascitis.

In his opinion she was, on the date of examination, "totally, temporarily disabled".
A hearing was held on December 30, 1970. On February 5, 1971 the hearing officer upheld respondent carrier's termination of benefits as of June 18, 1970 which was based on a finding that petitioner's condition as referable to the accidenttime.
"It is felt that her condition is stationary and that she can be dismissed by her attending physician without any permanent impairment and that she is able to return to work." (Emphasis supplied.)
