A: No. Chiropractors are primary health care providers and are readily accessed.
- Q: If I undergo care, will my insurance rates increase?
A: No. Your rates will not increase as a result of an injury claim only.
- Q: How much will care cost?
A: Under the present legislation, there is no net out-of-pocket expense for care.
- Q: I was involved in an accident, and had little stiffness the next day, is it worthwhile to undergo care?
