- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropractor will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your Chiropractor can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors aged 65 and over, as well as dependents under 18. Coverage typically includes a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, often with a co-payment required. For most adults, AHCIP does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are advised to check their current coverage limits and consult their private insurance plans for additional coverage options.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- No, in Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a referral for reimbursement. It’s always best to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and getting your body functioning better (corrective care). After that, some people choose to come in for occasional check-ups to keep things working well (maintenance or wellness care), similar to how you’d see a dentist for regular cleanings.
