The self-represented applicant sought payment for a chiropractic treatment plan in the amount of $4,493.71 following a 2007 motor vehicle accident.
The applicant claimed she suffered from whiplash, fibromyalgia, and 'windy poison'.
The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to provide persuasive evidence linking her fibromyalgia and 'windy poison' to the accident.
While whiplash was verified as a direct result of the accident, the applicant provided no objective medical opinion supporting that chiropractic treatment would improve her condition, whereas the respondent's orthopaedic assessment concluded treatment would not help.
The application was dismissed as the treatment plan was not shown to be reasonable and necessary.
