Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In British Columbia, the Medical Services Plan (MSP) provides limited coverage for chiropractic services. Eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance, may receive partial coverage which includes a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits each year, often with a co-payment. Most patients, however, will have to rely on private extended health insurance for comprehensive coverage. It's important to verify your specific eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP and your insurance provider.
- 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 your Chiropractor can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination typically last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific procedures and your individual needs for that day.
- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in BC, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be 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 like posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support spinal health during growth, or for issues such as colic or feeding difficulties in infants.
