Chiropractic and massage therapy treatment plans found reasonable and necessary for temporary pain relief.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought payment for chiropractic and massage therapy treatment plans under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The respondent insurer denied the plans based on insurer's examinations.
The Tribunal found the applicant credible and held that the treatment plans were reasonable and necessary as they provided temporary pain relief that allowed the applicant to maintain workplace attendance and perform daily activities.
The Tribunal placed less weight on the insurer's examinations, finding them unhelpful or taken out of context.
The applicant was awarded the cost of the treatment plans and interest on overdue payments.
