What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and biomechanics, as well as clinical sciences like diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis. Chiropractic-specific subjects such as adjusting techniques and rehabilitation are also covered extensively. This education incorporates extensive hands-on clinical internship experience. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to obtain licensure to practice as licensed chiropractors in Canada.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments), manual therapies, exercise, and lifestyle counseling to relieve pain, restore function, and support the body's natural healing ability. It can be effective for issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in the arms or legs.

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

In British Columbia, 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Lillbeck will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is clinically necessary. Imaging may be recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if the patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions are made following established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

What is Health and Wellness Unlimited's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

In BC, MSP provides partial coverage for a limited number of chiropractic visits (currently up to 10 combined visits per year for supplementary benefits including chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, naturopathy, and acupuncture) for eligible individuals, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is recommended to verify your MSP eligibility and coverage details, as private insurance may also provide additional benefits.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often 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 can be helpful.
