- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- While chiropractors are very well known for effectively treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of other neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, as well as headaches, and problems related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.
- What are All Care Chiropractic and Massage's operating hours?

We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office at (250) 555-1234 or check our website at www.allcarechiropractic.ca for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Yes, chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques, along with specialized tables or pillows, to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Renaud, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- A Chiropractor is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a limited number of covered visits each year, primarily for eligible individuals such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It's important to verify your specific coverage details with MSP and your private insurance provider, as coverage varies and might include extended health benefits.
- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
