BC Chiropractors are not part of the urgent primary care networks that are opening across the province. As musculoskeletal (MSK) experts, chiropractors have the clinical expertise to play a role in patient care in the primary care networks and are hoping to lobby the Health Authority and Ministry of Health to be included alongside other Health Practitioners.

The BC Chiropractic Association (BCCA) is advocating for the ability to directly refer patients for X-Ray imaging. Direct referral by chiropractors for X-ray would eliminate the need for two unnecessary visits. They are unable to direct refer patients, and want to change the current regulation to include their profession. They would like to have a regional pilot project funded by the Ministry of Health allowing direct access in the Island Health Authority to show that this can work across the province.
