Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, and non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is ever completely free of potential adverse effects.
The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many clients feel immediate relief after treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness, or aching. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.

Is chiropractic covered by insurance?
Manitoba Health covers a portion of every chiropractic appointment, up to a maximum of seven per year. Personal health insurance will often cover most of the remaining balance. And if you’re filing a claim with the WCB or MPI, we have some steps to follow in our Claims & Forms section.
Claims & Forms
An automobile or workplace injury can come with paperwork as well as treatment. We can help make the claims process easier and explain what you need to do before your appointment.
