- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We 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 our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services for seniors aged 65 and over and dependents under 18, typically covering a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring co-payment. For other adults, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It is advisable to check current AHCIP limits and consult your private insurance provider for additional coverage options.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropractor, we are trained to diagnose and treat many different conditions related to your spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This can include neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and pain in your arms or legs.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- 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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Bajor, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s recommended to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
