- 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 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 understand their coverage.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your Chiropractor can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
- What are Energy Health Chiropractic Corporation's operating hours?
- Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- A subluxation or joint restriction describes a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nearby nerves. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.
- 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 (currently 10 per year for supplementary benefits including chiro, physio, massage, 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 coverage details directly with MSP or your private insurance provider.
- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, chiropractors often collaborate with other healthcare professionals. Dr. Parsons and his colleagues frequently work with and refer to family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists to ensure comprehensive and optimal care for their patients.
