Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropractor, we are trained to diagnose and treat many different conditions related to your spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This can include neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and pain in your arms or legs.

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.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.

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

In Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.

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

Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) provides limited coverage for chiropractic services, primarily for seniors (65+) and dependents under 18, often with a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, typically with a co-payment. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify current coverage and consult their private insurance for additional benefits.
