The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to chiropractic services and rebuttal assessments. Adjudicator Paluch concluded that the claimant suffered from chronic pain syndrome, which was not simply a clinically associated sequela to his minor injuries. There was also evidence of disc bulges, protrusion and canal stenosis which are not minor injuries. The claimant was awarded the chiropractic treatment since it provided him with pain relief. The rebuttal assessments were not payable because there was no evidence as to the purpose of the assessment or why a rebuttal report was necessary.
