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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Sidhu will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are clinically necessary. Typically, imaging is recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions are made following established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A subluxation or joint restriction is a term used to describe a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with the nerves that pass nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.

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

In British Columbia, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a limited number of benefits, including a set amount per visit for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It is advisable to verify your MSP eligibility and check your private insurance for additional coverage. Coverage varies by province and individual circumstances, so patients are encouraged to confirm details directly with MSP and their insurance providers.

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.

What is Pain Free Health's appointment cancellation policy?

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so no referral from a medical doctor is required to book an appointment. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
