- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropractor will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and tailored to a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.
- What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?
- Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary education, earning a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. This typically involves at least three years of undergraduate university studies followed by four years of intensive training at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive coursework in anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, adjusting techniques, and rehabilitation. Students also complete extensive hands-on clinical internships. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed professionals.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- No referral is necessary. Chiropractors in BC are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book appointments directly. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify the specifics of their insurance coverage.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In BC, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, typically a set amount per visit, for a limited number of visits annually—currently up to 10 combined with other supplementary benefits like physiotherapy, massage, naturopathy, and acupuncture—for eligible individuals, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It's important to check eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP and private insurers.
