Most patients will have a co-payment. It is advisable to verify your MSP eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP and check your private insurance plans for additional coverage.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Common reasons parents seek chiropractic care include concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, supporting spinal health during growth spurts, or addressing issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Generally, chiropractic care involves an initial phase aimed at relieving acute symptoms, followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen affected areas.

The specific plan is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
