- 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, and for dependents under 18. These benefits often include a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, typically requiring co-payments. For most adult patients, AHCIP does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It is advisable to verify current coverage limits directly with AHCIP and consult your private insurance plan for additional coverage.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you're 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 very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Maldiney to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might better address your specific needs.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are ideal choices. This enables Dr. Maldiney to assess your posture and movement easily and perform necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the assessment if needed.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors in Alberta are considered primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a medical doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s recommended to check your individual insurance policy to confirm their requirements.
- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- A Chiropractor is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide effective, manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to relieve pain and improve movement. Chiropractic care aims to help you achieve your health goals without medication or surgery, promoting overall wellness and function.
