The Tribunal held that the first treatment plan for chiropractic and massage therapy was reasonable and necessary given the applicant's ongoing physical pain and its relevance to her psychological impairment.

Claims for benefits beyond the Minor Injury Guideline dismissed due to lack of compelling evidence.
The insurer paid for treatment up to the $3,500 limit under the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) but denied further funding for physiotherapy and a psychological assessment.
