The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied a treatment plan for chiropractic services, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found that the applicant's injuries fell outside the MIG because the accident aggravated pre-existing injuries and materially contributed to the development of chronic pain syndrome.

However, the Tribunal dismissed the claim for the specific treatment plan, finding the applicant failed to prove it was reasonable and necessary given her lack of progress with similar past treatments.
