Questions before you book
What happens at my first chiropractic appointment?
Your chiropractor asks about your symptoms, health history and goals, then assesses your movement. They explain their findings and discuss suitable care options with you. Treatment is recommended only if chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.
Does every appointment involve a manual adjustment?
Your plan may include manual adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques, soft-tissue care and exercise. Discuss your preferences with your chiropractor so you can make an informed decision together.
Can I use ICBC coverage for chiropractic care?
ICBC lists chiropractic care among pre-approved treatments during the first 12 weeks after a crash under Enhanced Care. Bring your ICBC claim number and Personal Health Number. Contact the clinic to confirm eligibility, billing and any fees before booking. Care outside this window may require approval.
