The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for rehabilitation support worker services and chiropractic treatment following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found that the rehabilitation support worker plans were not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant's pre-existing impairments were consistent with his post-accident presentation and the goals of the plans had not produced any meaningful change in his activity.

The Tribunal also denied the chiropractic treatment plan, preferring the respondent's orthopedic surgeon's opinion that the accident-related pathology had healed.

The application was dismissed.

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.
