Application for chiropractic treatment benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove it was reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically claiming $3,413.01 for a chiropractic treatment plan (OCF-18).
The respondent denied the claim, arguing the treatment was not reasonable and necessary and relying on a section 44 physiatry assessment.
The Tribunal found that while the accident exacerbated the applicant's pre-existing chronic pain, the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence that the proposed treatment goals were being met or that he sustained any benefit from prior treatment.
The application was dismissed.
