What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.

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

In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a limited number of covered visits per year for eligible individuals, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is important to verify your specific coverage and check with MSP and private insurers for details. In other provinces, coverage varies: AHCIP in Alberta offers limited coverage for seniors and dependents with co-payments; Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover private chiropractic care, and Quebec's RAMQ does not cover private clinic services either. Patients are advised to review their private insurance policies and confirm coverage details directly with MSP or respective provincial health plans.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in BC, and patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Tong can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition.
