Low Back Pain
All rates include applicable taxes.
We happily accept patients from the greater Victoria area!
You do not need a doctor’s referral to see any of the practitioners but some health plans require them on some services if you want reimbursement. Please look in to your plan for details. We bill health plans directly whenever possible. Please email us your extended health information or fill out the insurance intake form in the patient portal (by clicking “book online now”) 2 business days prior to your appointment. We will preapprove you for direct billing.
UVSS undergraduate health plan:
Please do not book one of these services unless you are an undergraduate student and have not opted of the UVSS health plan. Dr. OR nurse practitioner referrals are now required to access RMT massage services, this is a new policy change starting September 2025. The default enhanced plan now covers 70% per appointment, up to $300 for each practitioner, per school year (Sept.-Aug.). The basic plan (you would have needed to downgrade your plan) covers only $30/appointment up to $200/school year. Please look into your plan for further details. Rates below are based on the default enhanced plan that comes with your tuition.
GSS graduate health plan:
Graduate students on the GSS health plan only need to pay between $10–15 for each service. A 1x/yr. $10 deductible may apply. No referral is required to access our services. Your plan now covers our dietitian! This plan covers $250 per calendar year, per practitioner.
Other health plans:
If your plan allows for direct billing, we will bill it for you. We need your health insurance information 2 business days before your appointment to preapprove you. If your plan does not allow direct billing or it requires a medical referral that you do not have at the time of the appointment, fees are paid up front at the time of treatment. A receipt is issued for you to send in for reimbursement. Please see our extended health page for more details.
All treatment times include assessment, treatment, and homecare as needed. Due to high processing fees, a 2.4% credit card convenience fee is added to all credit card transactions.
