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

In British Columbia, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without the need for 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 to confirm coverage.

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, along with exercise and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support the 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 Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

In BC, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, typically offering a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits annually (currently 10 combined for services like chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, naturopathy, and acupuncture) for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is recommended to verify your MSP eligibility and private insurance plans for specific coverage details.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree program, which generally requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education covers comprehensive basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics), clinical sciences (diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis), and chiropractic-specific subjects (adjusting techniques, rehabilitation). This includes extensive hands-on clinical internship experience. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed practitioners.

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

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