Does Chestermere Family Chiropractic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Chestermere Family Chiropractic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients are advised to bring their insurance cards and details to their appointments and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage limits vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their insurance plan.

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

No, in Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify the specifics of their insurance policies beforehand.

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. Scheduling an initial consultation with Dr. D'Amico allows for a thorough assessment and discussion of your health goals to determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might better suit your needs.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or movement. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, potentially causing pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility. The goal of chiropractic adjustments is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The initial visit typically involves a detailed history and examination, lasting around an hour. Follow-up appointments for adjustments and therapies usually take 15-20 minutes, depending on the treatment plan tailored to the patient.

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 (65+) and dependents (under 18), often with a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, usually requiring co-payments. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are encouraged to check their current coverage and consult private insurance plans for additional benefits.
