Back pain FAQs
Should I see a chiropractor or a physiotherapist for back pain?
Both treat back pain well. Book with either one. If you’d benefit from both, they work together here.
Should I use ice or heat?
In the first couple of days, ice can calm a new injury. After that, heat often helps stiff muscles. Use whichever feels better. Read more in our guide to cold vs. heat.
Do I need an X-ray or MRI?
Most back pain doesn’t need imaging. If your assessment suggests you do, we’ll refer you.
Is back pain treatment covered by insurance?
Most extended health plans cover chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage, and we bill most insurers directly. We also bill ICBC directly for car accident injuries.
