What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Essentially, chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropractor will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

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 such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Jamieson, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Does All Sport Health and Performance offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, All Sport Health and Performance offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients should bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and amounts vary. The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The audible release often heard during a chiropractic adjustment is the sound of gas being released from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It is perfectly normal and does not hurt. The main goal is the restoration of movement and function, not the sound itself.

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. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan 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 other adults, coverage in private clinics is generally not provided. Patients should verify their current coverage limits and consult their private insurance plans for additional benefits.
