Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Redel will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging studies are clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, to assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions adhere to established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

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, often with a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, usually requiring co-payment. For most adults, AHCIP does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are advised to check their current coverage limits and consult their private insurance plans for additional coverage options.

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 Dr. Redel can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.

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. Chiropractors, including Dr. Redel, are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Redel, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral in Alberta. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
