Question 1

What should I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your journey with us begins with understanding your unique health situation and goals. During your first visit, one of our doctors conducts a comprehensive examination including your health history, postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological testing, computerized gait analysis, and other relevant assessments. Plan for your initial exam to take about an hour. Your second visit—typically scheduled the day after your first—is when your doctor reviews all examination findings with you and creates your personalized care plan. We call this your 'Report of Findings,' and it usually takes about 20 minutes. This two-visit approach gives your doctor time to thoroughly analyze your results, formulate an accurate diagnosis, and begin educating you on how to achieve your health goals.

Question 2

How does chiropractic care help with back pain?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic care addresses the root causes of back pain rather than simply masking symptoms. Our doctors identify misalignments, muscle imbalances, and nervous system interference that contribute to your discomfort, then use precise adjustments and complementary therapies to restore proper function. Many patients experience significant relief within the first few visits, with continued improvement as we address the underlying issues. We also educate you on posture, movement patterns, and lifestyle factors to help prevent future problems.

Question 3

Do you offer massage therapy or acupuncture alongside chiropractic treatment?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We're a truly multidisciplinary clinic with registered massage therapists and Doctors of Acupuncture working under the same roof as our chiropractors. This integrated approach means you can receive complementary treatments that work together for faster, more complete healing. Many patients find that combining chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy or acupuncture produces better results than any single treatment alone. Our team communicates and collaborates on your care for a seamless, comprehensive experience.

Question 4

Is chiropractic care safe for children or during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Chiropractic care is exceptionally safe for both children and pregnant women when performed by experienced practitioners like our team. For children, we use specialized gentle techniques appropriate for their developing bodies, starting from birth through adolescence. Pediatric chiropractic supports developmental milestones, addresses the effects of falls and sports injuries, and helps optimize nervous system function for learning and growth. For expectant mothers, chiropractic care helps manage the physical stresses of pregnancy, reduces common discomforts, supports optimal fetal positioning, and prepares your body for birth. We also provide postnatal care to support your recovery.

Question 5

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept insurance coverage for chiropractic, massage therapy, and acupuncture services. We also offer competitive cash rates, family discounts, special rates for patients under 17, and prepayment options that provide additional savings. Our front desk team is happy to help you understand your coverage and payment options—just give us a call or ask during your visit.

Question 6

What makes your clinic a good choice for families?

Accepted Answer

Beacon Hill Chiropractic and Massage has built a reputation as Northwest Calgary's family wellness destination by treating entire families across all generations. We see newborns, children, teens, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents—often all from the same family.
