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

In Alberta, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, 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, so it's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

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 benefit amount per year. For most adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It's recommended to verify current coverage limits and consult your private insurance provider for additional coverage options.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Dr. Dyck frequently works with and refers to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of the patient to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it's rarely painful. If muscles are very tight or joints inflamed, some temporary soreness may occur after treatment, but Dr. Dyck will discuss this and tailor the technique to your needs.

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. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments), manual therapies, exercise, and lifestyle counseling to relieve pain, restore function, and support the body's natural healing ability. It can help with conditions like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint issues in the arms or legs.
