Application for accident benefits dismissed; injuries found to be minor and subject to the MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied certain treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and subject to the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued she suffered from chronic pain syndrome, relying on a chiropractor's diagnosis.
The Tribunal found that diagnosing chronic pain is outside a chiropractor's scope of practice and gave it no weight.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant sustained predominantly minor injuries, as she had not demonstrated functional impairment and had returned to work and daily activities.
The application for treatment plans, interest, and an award was dismissed.
