Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's specific age, size, and developmental stage.

Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18). Coverage typically includes a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring co-payments. For most adults, AHCIP does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify their individual coverage and check with their private insurance providers for additional benefits.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?

No, in Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy details.

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, using modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Ebrahim, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
