How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The first visit to a Chiropractor involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up appointments where adjustments and other therapies are performed are typically 15-20 minutes. The exact duration will depend on your personalized treatment plan.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

A Chiropractor is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

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), usually offering a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, often with co-payments. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients should verify their current coverage and consult private insurance plans for additional benefits.

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 extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation will allow Dr. Frostad to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach is better suited to your needs.

However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.
