Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Dr. Hollingsworth always modifies techniques to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

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

No, 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. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, absolutely. Therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often key components of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Your Chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition to help improve strength, flexibility, stability, restore proper movement patterns, and promote long-term recovery and injury prevention.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to address underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Many patients then choose wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to sustain progress and prevent future issues. Ultimately, this is always your choice.

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), usually covering a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year with some co-payments. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify current coverage limits and consult their 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 allows for easier physical examinations and any active components of your treatment.
