Both medical providers then testified as to whether the variances should be granted or denied as to the additional acupuncture treatment. Claimant’s treating medical provider testified that the claimant had undergone other treatment modalities but that acupuncture was the only modality that helped maintain her functional level. The IME examiner testified that claimant’s treatment provider failed to meet the burden of proof when seeking the variance in that he did not include the claimant’s response to treatment or any improvement in her range of motion from the treatment.
