1 in 4 British Columbians stopped working in the last year because of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain.

MSK conditions are one of the leading causes of disability and lost productivity. That’s why improving access to effective pain management matters.

Chiropractors already play an important role in helping patients recover through evidence-based care. Expanding scope to include tools like needle stimulation would give chiropractors another option to help manage pain, reduce disability, and support patients in getting back to work.

Better access to MSK care benefits patients, workplaces, and the entire healthcare system.

Advocacy in Action!

We’re grateful to our members who continue to show up and represent the profession across BC. Pictured here are Dr. Shirtina Quon and Dr. Kyle Stunden, BCCA Board Directors for the Fraser Health region, meeting with Mike Farnworth, MLA for Port Coquitlam.

These conversations are an important part of advancing our advocacy priorities and ensuring the voice of chiropractors, and the patients we care for, are included in key policy discussions. Our advocacy focuses on two important policy changes:

• Allow chiropractors to directly refer for diagnostic imaging under MSP

• Allow chiropractors to practice needle stimulation and IMS

Every connection helps build awareness and momentum. Thank you to Dr. Quon and Dr. Stunden for their leadership and ongoing commitment to the profession.

Better access. Better outcomes. More choice.

Needle stimulation is an evidence-based treatment that can help patients manage both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Allowing chiropractors in BC to provide needle stimulation would mean:

✔️ Improved clinical outcomes, with another effective treatment option
✔️ Better access to care, especially in rural and remote communities
✔️ Greater provider choice, allowing patients to receive care from the provider they already trust

Chiropractors already help hundreds of thousands of British Columbians manage pain each year. Modernizing scope would simply allow patients to access this care more efficiently, without needing multiple appointments or referrals.

It’s time to optimize the chiropractic scope in BC to include needle stimulation.

World Health Day 2026

Today’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science,” is a reminder of the important role evidence-based care plays in building healthier communities.

Chiropractic care is grounded in research, clinical expertise, and patient-centred care, supporting musculoskeletal health and helping people move, feel, and live better.

By working collaboratively across the health system and staying guided by science, we can continue improving access to safe, effective care for all British Columbians!

We’re so grateful to the members who are stepping up to support chiropractic advocacy in BC.

Pictured here is Dr. Emily Nicol, who practices in Kelowna, meeting with Kristina Loewen, MLA for Kelowna Centre. Taking the time to connect with elected officials helps ensure the perspectives of chiropractors, and the patients we care for, are part of important policy conversations.

Moments like this are a powerful reminder that our voice is strongest when we work together. Every meeting, email, conversation, and social share helps build awareness and move our advocacy efforts forward. If you’d like to participate, our Advocacy Toolkit includes MLA contact tools, email templates, and social graphics to help you get started. Link in bio!

Thank you to the many BCCA members who are helping champion these issues and represent the profession across the province. Your engagement truly makes a difference.

Member Highlight: Dr. Cody Rondeau

Dr. Cody Rondeau is making an impact in Prince George and beyond! In addition to his clinical practice, he serves as a Clinical Instructor with the Northern Medical Program at University of Northern British Columbia.

Last month, Dr. Rondeau had the opportunity to present to medical residents on evidence-based guidelines for low back pain, highlighting how spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), along with exercise and patient education, offers an effective, non-invasive approach to care. You can watch his presentation now on BCCA On-Demand.

Interested in presenting to healthcare professionals in your community? We’d love to support you, reach out to the BCCA to learn more.

Working together in MSK care!

Across British Columbia, chiropractors frequently work alongside other regulated health professionals in collaborative care environments. This includes coordinating with family physicians as well as physiotherapists.

As scopes of practice evolve, a competency-based framework helps ensure healthcare providers can practice to the full extent of their education and training, strengthening interdisciplinary care and improving patient outcomes.

Our shared goal is simple: ensuring patients receive the right care from the right provider at the right time.

97% of British Columbians support including needle stimulation in chiropractic scope of practice.

Across Canada, needle stimulation is already within chiropractic scope in every province except Quebec and BC. It’s time for BC to catch up.

Including needle stimulation in an optimized scope of practice:
✅ Improves pain care and patient outcomes
✅ Reduces patient burden by limiting extra appointments and referrals
✅ Costs government $0
✅ Reflects overwhelming public support

British Columbians want accessible, evidence-informed musculoskeletal care. Let’s ensure chiropractors can provide the full range of techniques they’re trained to deliver.

Across Canada, chiropractors are authorized to perform needle stimulation in nearly every province.

That means patients in most of the country can receive integrated, evidence-informed musculoskeletal care from their chiropractor without needing additional appointments or referrals. From Alberta to Newfoundland and Labrador, this has been standard practice for years, with no reported adverse impacts.

The only exceptions?

❌ British Columbia
❌ Quebec

British Columbians deserve access to the same comprehensive musculoskeletal care available across the rest of the country.

97% of British Columbians support including needle stimulation in chiropractic scope (IPSOS 2025).

It’s time for BC to align with the national standard.

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can also come with new aches and pains.

Did you know that about 40% of women experience low back pain during pregnancy? While it’s common, that doesn’t mean you have to simply deal with the discomfort. There are safe, supportive options to help you feel your best as your body changes.

Chiropractors are trained to support musculoskeletal health during pregnancy. Care is always tailored to you, with a focus on comfort and safety. Treatment may include:

• Gentle joint mobilizations or adjustments to support movement
• Soft tissue therapy to ease tight or overworked muscles
• Taping or bracing to provide extra support
• Personalized exercises to build strength and stability
• Education and practical advice for posture, lifting, and daily activities

As your body adapts to support a growing baby, small changes in movement can make a big difference in how you feel. The goal of care is simple: help you stay strong, mobile, and confident throughout your pregnancy.

Our Story

The British Columbia Chiropractic Association (BCCA) is a voluntary professional organization that represents BC’s chiropractors. We are dedicated to advancing the chiropractic profession and improving the lives of people in BC through public awareness, advocacy to the government, and collaboration with other health care organizations.

The chiropractic profession in BC was first legislated in 1934. Prior to that, it was served by the Council of Chiropractors, established in 1922. In 1991, the BCCA was founded as a separate member organization due to the constant growth of chiropractors in BC.

Chiropractors are spine, muscle, and joint experts specifically trained and qualified to diagnose and provide effective treatment for back and neck pain, headaches, and migraines. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain, restore mobility and prevent recurrences, so that people can lead healthier, more active lives.

We are social - let’s connect!
