- Is chiropractic care covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for chiropractic services primarily for seniors aged 65 and over, as well as dependents under 18. These benefits typically include a set number of visits or a maximum dollar amount per benefit year, often requiring co-payments. For most adult patients, AHCIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It is advisable to verify current AHCIP limits and consult your private insurance provider for coverage details.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- It's a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with back problems. In reality, we treat a broad array of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle, from your jaw to your toes, a Chiropractor may be able to help.
- 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 Performance Chiropractic and Rehabilitaion's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
- 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. We encourage you to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. William Rajbar can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in AB?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Alberta, meaning you 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 recommended to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
