- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors aged 65 and over, as well as dependents under 18. These benefits typically include a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year and often require a co-payment. For the general adult population, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify their current coverage limits and consult their private insurance plans for additional benefits.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- It's a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with back problems. In reality, we treat a broad array of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle—from your jaw to your toes—a Chiropractor may be able to help.
- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- An adjustment itself is typically not painful. You might hear a 'pop' or 'crack', which is just gas being released from the joint, not bones cracking. Some people feel a bit sore the next day, similar to after a workout, but this is usually mild and temporary. Your Chiropractor will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
- 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 very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows the Chiropractor to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition or if another approach may be more appropriate.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also called joint dysfunction) 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, or reduced mobility. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, so you can book an appointment directly without needing a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints like back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica caused by hormonal changes and biomechanical shifts. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women using modified techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure both mother and baby's safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Wong, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
