- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- In Alberta, 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. 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 for seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), typically a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring co-payment. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify current AHCIP limits and consult their private insurance plans.
- Does Dr. Chad Jackle - Family Chiropractic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Dr. Chad Jackle - Family Chiropractic offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients should bring their insurance card and details and confirm their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as coverage amounts and plans vary. The patient remains responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination typically last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up treatment appointments are generally shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatments provided and your individual needs for that day.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn’t mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.
