Medical benefits for chiropractic treatment and PRP injections denied as not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought medical benefits for chiropractic treatment and PRP injections following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that while the accident exacerbated the applicant's pre-existing right shoulder rotator cuff tear, the proposed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary.
The evidence indicated that past chiropractic treatment had not been effective in reducing pain, and there was insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of PRP injections for the impairment.
Both claims for medical benefits were dismissed.
