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

For seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services, often covering a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year, usually with a co-payment required. For most adults, Alberta Health Care generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. Patients are encouraged to verify their coverage with AHCIP and check their private insurance plans for additional benefits.

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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Shergill will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, or if your condition isn’t improving as expected with conservative care, always following established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Does Optimum Wellness Centres - Strathmore offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Optimum Wellness Centres - Strathmore offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients should bring their insurance information and confirm coverage with their insurer, as plans and benefits vary. The patient remains responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their individual insurance policies.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes. Chiropractic care often includes rehabilitative exercises and stretches tailored to support your recovery, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to maintain your health between visits.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be comfortable. While a brief sensation of pressure might occur, it is rarely painful. If muscles are tight or joints inflamed, some soreness may be experienced afterward, but your Chiropractor will tailor the technique to your comfort level.
