- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through the Medical Services Plan, typically covering a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits annually, especially for those on Premium Assistance or with low income. Most patients will have a co-payment. It’s important to verify your specific coverage and eligibility with MSP and check your private insurance plans for additional coverage.
- 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 joint issues—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Badyal to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited for your condition.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be highly effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints like back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Dr. Badyal, who is trained to work with pregnant women, uses modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, including Dr. Badyal, are certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The sound heard during a chiropractic adjustment is the release of gas from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. This is perfectly normal, harmless, and does not hurt. The primary goal of an adjustment is restoring joint movement and function, not the sound itself.
- What is Absolute Health and Wellness Clinic's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that life happens! To accommodate all our patients, we request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- Chiropractors in BC are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. It’s advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, chiropractors often collaborate with other healthcare providers such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive and effective care tailored to each patient’s needs.
