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

No, in British Columbia, 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are encouraged to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

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

MSP in BC provides limited coverage for chiropractic services, primarily for eligible individuals such as seniors and those on Premium Assistance. Most adults do not have coverage for chiropractic care under MSP, but some supplementary benefits may include a set number of visits per year. Patients should verify their eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP and their private insurance plans.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or an improved sense of movement. Some may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to the sensation after starting a new exercise. Your Chiropractor will communicate throughout the treatment to ensure your comfort. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.

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 issues—chiropractic care may be beneficial. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Louie can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might be more appropriate for your condition.
