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

In British Columbia, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. This means that patients can book an appointment directly with a chiropractor 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy to confirm any requirements.

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

MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, typically offering a set amount per visit for a limited number of visits (currently 10 combined per year for services like chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, naturopathy, and acupuncture) for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most other adults do not have MSP coverage for chiropractic in private clinics. Patients should verify their MSP eligibility and consult their private insurance plans for further coverage details.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or improved movement following treatment. Some individuals may feel mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to after starting a new exercise routine. Your Chiropractor will communicate throughout the session and tailor techniques to ensure your comfort. Any discomfort typically subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of attire suitable for light exercise, allowing easy movement and access to the areas requiring treatment.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropractors often collaborate with other healthcare providers. They frequently work alongside family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists to ensure their patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally safe and can be very effective in managing common musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified techniques, including specialized tables and pillows, to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Narotam, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic approach for pregnant women.
