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

In British Columbia, chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without needing a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it’s advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

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.

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

BC's Medical Services Plan (MSP) provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, typically offering a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits (currently 10 combined visits per year for supplementary benefits including chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, naturopathy, and acupuncture) for eligible individuals with lower incomes (e.g., those on Premium Assistance). Most patients will still have a co-payment. It is recommended to verify your eligibility and coverage directly with MSP and check your private insurance plan for additional benefits.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which generally requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and biomechanics, as well as clinical sciences like diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis. Students also receive extensive hands-on clinical internship experience. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed practitioners.
