What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, as well as exercise, and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural ability to heal. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits annually, primarily for individuals with lower incomes or those eligible for premium assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is important to verify your coverage and eligibility directly with MSP and check your private insurance plans for additional coverage.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

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

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

During your initial appointment, Dr. Baldwin will take the time to understand your health concerns through a detailed history and physical exam focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. Following the assessment, he will explain his findings, answer your questions, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. You may receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.

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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Baldwin will determine if imaging is necessary based on your medical history and physical exam. Imaging may be recommended to rule out more serious conditions, assess for spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition is not improving with conservative care. All imaging procedures are performed following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is recommended to check your individual policy.
