WSIB needs proof that this will be better

Proof? Only the user can supply proof. A doctor can offer an opinion and even study results, but that's about it AFAIK. Certainly your best bet is the doc that wrote the script.

Google it!

Usually they say NO, surprise, surprise...
If you want to fight it you can but it will take a loooong time...

Here is a good story in The Star from today:
