Key legal question
Whether Suva had to cover Tui-Na therapy with acupuncture as accident-related treatment under UVG.
Extracted holding
No. The therapy was treated as complementary medicine, but the decisive condition for continued post-rent treatment under Art. 21(1)(d) UVG was not met because no objective substantial improvement or prevention of substantial deterioration was shown.
Extracted reasoning
Subjective pain relief alone was insufficient. The medical file did not show an objective orthopedic correlate or a meaningful prognosis of substantial improvement, and a substantial threat of deterioration was not established.
