Modern Chiropractic

Spinal manipulation, which is what chiropractors do in their offices, is effective for neuromusculoskeletal conditions including back pain, limb pain and headaches. In fact, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has recommended manipulation as one of the treatments of choice for acute back pain.

• Fees

  The Manitoba Health Services Commission (medicare) allows each citizen of Manitoba partial coverage of 12 visits per calendar year.

If a patient should exceed the maximum number of visits per year then they would be required to pay the full fee with the following exceptions:

  WCB and MPIC

  If you are being treated for a work-related, compensable injury or injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident, the visits are paid for in full by the Workers Compensation Board or the Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation. There is no private fee.
