- 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.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, including a set number of visits per year for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is important to verify your specific eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP or your private insurance provider.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- No, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, and patients 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 individual insurance policy.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- 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. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women, using modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Csabai, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
