The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought accident benefits for chiropractic treatment.
The respondent denied the treatment plan on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 funding limit had been exhausted.
The applicant argued that previous neck and back fractures from a 2008 accident constituted a pre-existing condition precluding recovery within the MIG.
The Tribunal found that while the applicant had a documented pre-existing condition, there was no compelling medical evidence that it prevented maximal recovery within the MIG limit.
The application was dismissed.
