- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- The first visit to a Chiropractor involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up appointments where adjustments and other therapies are performed are typically 15-20 minutes. The exact duration will depend on your personalized treatment plan.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors (65+) and dependents under 18, often with a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year. For most adults, AHCIP does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It is recommended to verify current coverage details with AHCIP and consult private insurance providers for additional coverage.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Care generally progresses through stages: relief care to address pain, corrective care to fix underlying issues and improve function, and maintenance or wellness care for ongoing support, similar to regular dental check-ups.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, chiropractors treat a broad range of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you experience pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle—from your jaw to your toes—a chiropractor may be able to help.
