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

In British Columbia, chiropractors are recognized as primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without the need for 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 patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, as well as exercise and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural ability to heal. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

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 often use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Khademi, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

The first chiropractic session primarily involves assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropractor will inquire about your health history and perform various physical tests to identify the source of your condition. This helps in creating a tailored treatment plan. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and if appropriate, treatment may begin during this initial visit.

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

In BC, MSP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services, typically covering a set number of visits per year for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment, and coverage varies based on individual circumstances. It is important to verify your eligibility and coverage details directly with MSP and your private insurance provider.

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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Your Chiropractor will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions like fractures or pathology, assess for spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition isn't improving as expected with conservative care, always following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Does Westview Wellness Centre Inc. offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Westview Wellness Centre Inc. generally offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and reimbursement amounts vary. The patient remains responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
