- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. If you are unsure, it’s best to schedule an initial consultation. During this visit, Dr. Shore can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be more suitable for your specific condition.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- In British Columbia, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it’s advisable to check your insurance policy details.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches can be supportive.
- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The initial appointment primarily involves assessment and understanding your needs. Dr. Shore will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests to identify the cause of your symptoms. A tailored treatment plan will then be developed collaboratively. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, and if appropriate, treatment may begin during this first visit.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- In BC, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a limited number of subsidized visits—currently up to 10 combined visits per year for services like chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, naturopathy, and acupuncture—for eligible individuals with lower incomes, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. For other adults, MSP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It’s important to verify your eligibility and private insurance coverage for specific details.
