Chiropractors
Chiropractors treat musculoskeletal ailments, such as back and neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, workplace injuries, and motor vehicle accidents.

Chiropractic treatment in Manitoba is partially covered by Manitoba Health Insurance. Chiropractors charge a fee for the portion not covered by Medicare. Autopac (MPI), the Workers Compensation Board, and the Department of Veterans Affairs cover 100% of chiropractic treatments, and no referral from a doctor is required. Many employers also offer additional health care plans that cover chiropractic services.
