Court declares Calif. workers comp cap constitutional

The 24-visit cap on chiropractic treatments imposed by the California Division of Worker's Compensation is constitutional, according to a ruling by the state appeals court.

The constitutional challenge to the limit on chiropractic treatments, which was implemented as part of California's 2003 workers comp reforms, was raised by Jose Facundo-Guerrero in his case against the state's Workers Compensation Appeals Board.

After being injured on his job, Facundo-Guerrero received 76 chiropractic treatments but was later told by the

Workers' Compensation Appeals Board that he was entitled to benefits for only 24 of the treatments.
