Two appointments. One X-ray.

Chiropractors are trained in diagnostic imaging, but patients in BC still need to see a family doctor just to get an X-ray requisition.

The result? Delays, duplicate visits, and added pressure on primary care.

Direct X-ray referral by chiropractors is a proven, evidence-based way to improve access, reduce wait times, and streamline care, without increasing imaging volume.

Let’s improve access to care for British Columbians!

Why be a member of the BCCA?

Because our collective voice matters!

The BCCA leads public education and awareness efforts, advocates for the profession, and creates opportunities for chiropractors across BC to get involved and make an impact. Hear from Dr. Beverley Steinhoff on why membership matters.

What happens when chiropractors can refer directly for X-rays?

The Comox Radiology Pilot Study shows patients accessed imaging faster, started treatment 33+ days sooner, and avoided unnecessary family doctor visits, without increasing imaging volume.

Allowing chiropractors to refer directly for publicly funded diagnostic imaging would:

✔️ Save an estimated $4.1M annually
✔️ Avoid 100,000+ unnecessary family doctor visits
✔️ Reduce wait times and improve access to MSK care

This evidence-based model improves access, reduces strain on primary care, and streamlines treatment when patients need it most.

Let chiropractors refer directly for publicly funded diagnostic imaging.

90% of British Columbians support allowing chiropractors to refer directly for publicly funded x-rays.

Currently, patients in BC often face unnecessary delays and duplicate visits just to access diagnostic imaging. By allowing chiropractors to refer directly to radiologists, we can:

✅ Save the healthcare system an estimated $4.1 million annually
✅ Avoid over 100,000 unnecessary family doctor visits
✅ Reduce wait times and start treatment 33+ days sooner

We’re advocating for a simple, evidence-backed change that will improve access, lower costs, and benefit patients across the province.

It’s time to modernize care. Let chiropractors refer directly for publicly funded X-rays.

Chin Tuck Exercise!

This simple move is great for improving upper neck mobility and strengthening the deep neck flexor muscles. It helps combat “tech neck” and encourages your head to sit in a healthy, aligned posture on your spine.

➡️ Gently tuck your chin in toward your throat
➡️ Hold for a few seconds, repeat 10–12 reps
➡️ Keep movements slow and controlled

Perfect for quick posture resets throughout your day!

Upper Row Exercise!

Similar to the low row, but with elbows raised high—this move targets the upper traps and shoulder muscles to improve posture and shoulder stability.

All you need is an exercise band to get started anywhere!
➡️ Focus on controlled reps, squeezing your shoulder blades together with elbows lifted.
➡️ Aim for 10–12 reps to build strength and support better upper body stability

Strong shoulders, better posture!

3-Way Neck Stretch!

Try this stretch to improve neck mobility and relieve tension—especially if you’re spending long hours at a desk. It targets the major muscles surrounding the neck and is easy to do anywhere.

➡️ Gently move through all three positions
➡️ Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds
➡️ Breathe and avoid forcing the movement

Perfect for quick workday breaks!

Low Row Exercise!

This exercise is great for strengthening the upper back muscles, which support better posture and shoulder stability. A stronger upper back means less strain on the neck and shoulders.

All you need is a simple exercise band, making it easy to do at home, at work, or in the clinic.

Aim for 10–12 controlled reps, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together.

Small movements, big posture benefits!

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!
