May 7, 2009 Have you been in a car accident recently?

Driving in Vancouver is dangerous; many drivers are impatient or talking on their cell phone. Chances are sooner or later you will be in an accident caused by someone else. What should I do after a car accident? The most common complaint after a low impact accident is neck and back pain and sometimes headaches. They most important thing is have it checked out by a health care professional, especially a chiropractor such as myself. You ask why? Chiropractors are licensed Doctors of Chiropractic in the province of British Columbia, this means that we are able to diagnose your condition after a car accident. We will carefully examine and record your injuries and complaints. The second step is to seek legal advice. Usually you have two years to seek legal advice, as long as you are continuing care with us. We work with a network of attorneys that will help you get the compensation you deserve. If you can not afford care, we will work with your attorney and arrange payment to us directly after your settlement. Come in or call and let us help you with your car accident claim.

June 14, 2008 The truth about Extended Health Insurance

Many people are confused when it comes to extended health insurance (Example Pacific Blue Cross). Unlike Dental insurance, most extended health insurances requires the patient to pay first and than will be reimbursed by insurance companies. Extended health insurance is not like car or our house insurance. It is a complicated subject. Extended health insurance is picked by your employer. Some employers will pay for all your extended health & dental insurance, while others will deduct a contribution from your paycheck. The amount deducted depends on the benefits you get and your family size. When you go see a chiropractor, massage therapist, physiotherapist, naturopath or other licensed health professionals, you pay first and will be given a receipt. This receipt is mailed to the insurance company and the insurance company will mail you a check in about 2-3 weeks depending on the insurance company. Each health profession has a different limit. At the end of each month, the insurance company gives the employer a bill for the amount of the extended health & dental claims + 10 to 20% administration fee. The extended health & dental bill is a company expense, allowing the employer to lower their corporate taxes. In the end it is a win-win situation. The employee is healthy and the employer can lower their taxes. These extended benefits are part of your pay package.
Each month, the employer only expects about 1-2 employees to use their benefits. The problem begins, when every single employee in the company starts to use his or her extended health benefits. The employer’s health budget for that month will double or triple. The employer is faced with 3 choices. One is to increase the health budget. Second is to cut benefits and point fingers at the most frequently used health professions, even thought these health professionals are keeping the employees healthy making them more productive and less days off work. Third restrict the health professions that are frequently used and require a medical referral from a family doctor. The 2nd and 3rd choice is the most common way employers deal with increasing health cost. The 3rd choice is even worst because now the medical system known as MSP or HIBC has to pick up the bill for the family doctor visit about $30 to write a referral. The referral is usually unnecessary, because health professionals are trained in diagnosing neuro- muscular problems.

October 23, 2005 Back Injuries

Back pain is the most common cause of time lost at work. It has been estimated at about 30-40%. Most adults and children suffer from back pain. We all had it one time or another, however we ignore it and hope that it will go away. The cause of back pain is very hard to determine. The most common cause is improper posture over a long period of time, improper lifting techniques or simply lifting too much.

Our goal is dedicated to educating our patients in all aspects of health. We treat a wide range of conditions such as back/neck pain, headaches/migraines, joint pain, etc. We accept all extened health care insurance, MSP, WCB, ICBC & DVA
