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

In British Columbia, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without 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 verify your insurance policy details.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Dr. Sandhu and other chiropractors frequently work with and refer to family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it benefits the patient, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.

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

BC's MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services, typically a set amount per visit, for a limited number of visits (currently up to 10 per year) for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It’s recommended to verify your eligibility and check with your private insurance for additional coverage.

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

Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree program, which includes at least three years of undergraduate study followed by four years of intensive education at an accredited chiropractic college. Their training covers basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics), clinical sciences (diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis), and chiropractic-specific techniques, complemented by extensive clinical internships. Graduates must pass national and provincial licensing exams to practice legally.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, including infants. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for the child's age and development. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture, post-fall support, or issues like colic and feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be helpful.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are well known for treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes neck, shoulder, hip, knee, and foot issues, as well as headaches and conditions involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.
