Dr. Anderson's practice is located at Cochrane Family Chiropractic, situated in a modern clinic in the central Cochrane neighborhood of Cochrane, AB. The clinic is conveniently positioned near local community services and pharmacies, making it easy for patients to access care as part of their routine errands. It is well-connected via local public transit routes, ensuring accessible options for all. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Anderson will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are clinically necessary. Typically, imaging is recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. Dr. Anderson always follows established diagnostic imaging guidelines to minimize radiation exposure and ensure appropriate use.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, alongside exercise and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural healing ability. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) provides limited coverage for chiropractic services, mainly for seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), often covering a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, with possible co-payments. For most adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should check their current coverage details and private insurance plans for additional benefits.

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.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to verify the specifics of your individual insurance policy.
