The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to chiropractic treatment, physiotherapy, a chronic pain assessment, and a chronic pain treatment program.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the impairments were not accident-related but due to pre-existing degenerative changes.
The Tribunal found that while the accident exacerbated the applicant's left shoulder and left knee conditions, the applicant failed to prove the proposed treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.
The medical evidence did not support the need for further physical therapy or the diagnosis of chronic pain syndrome.
The application was dismissed, and no award or interest was payable.
