DONNA BALCH APPELLANT v. SEBASTIAN COUNTY and AAC RISK MANAGEMENT APPELLEES

RITA W. GRUBER

APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION [NO. F902938]
AFFIRMED

RITA W. GRUBER
, Judge

Donna Balch appeals a decision of the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission, denying her request for additional benefits for treatment that she argued was related to a compensable knee injury. The Commission, affirming and adopting the decision of the administrative law judge, found that the treatment was not reasonably necessary in connection with her compensable injury. This appeal followed.

The only issue on appeal concerns the sufficiency of the evidence to support the Commission's findings. Because this is the sole issue before us, and because the Commission's well-reasoned opinion adequately explains the decision, we affirm by memorandum opinion. In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985). It is the Commission's duty, not ours, to make credibility determinations, to weigh the evidence, and to resolve conflicts in the medical opinions, evidence, and testimony. Adams v. Bemis Co., 2010 Ark. App. 859, at 2.

Affirmed.

ABRAMSON and MARTIN, JJ., agree.
