- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropractor will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.
- 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.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?
- Chiropractors in British Columbia 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. It’s advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- MSP in BC 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, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It’s recommended to verify your MSP eligibility and coverage, and to check with your private insurance for additional benefits.
