Yes! Chiropractic is covered by all major private health insurances. For your convenience, we have HICAPS GO online and a HICAPS terminal on site so you can claim your extras instantly.

Chiropractors use skill, not force or strength, to conduct specific adjustments. Various types of manual therapy and low-force interventions are also used where appropriate.
