Effective July 1st , 2017, chiropractic services will be no longer be available to lower income programs . These programs consist of supplementary Health Benefits, Family Health Benefits Program, and Seniors Income Plan. If you are in recipient of these programs , you will not be able to coverage for Chiropractic services as of July 1, 2017. You will be responsible for the cost of the chiropractic services that you need to get by in your everyday life to life tasks.

I myself am a individual that requires chiropractic treatments to get by in my everyday life situations. I know many people who require them and would be bed ridden if they were not be able to receive treatments.

The Chiropractor's Association of Saskatchewan is raising the issue with the Government, and will continue to ask for the decision to be reconsidered.

The voice of lower income individuals on the following services need to be heard and not brushed aside . I am making my voice heard by getting this petition started for those who feel the same way I do or believe that it should be decided by Government officials to make this harsh and unhealthy decision. Please take the time to sign this petition it would be a great help to lower income individuals, but also Chiropractor's association.

Also if you want to voice your concern , please contact your local MLA or speak to your chiropractor

My 31 month old grandaughter would not be walking if there had not been chiropractic intervention at 21 months..she requires treatment at least once a week.her mother is on the SAID program and not much extra money.. Because its necessary we are doing the best we can to keep up treatments.thanks to the present government it is a hardship..

I fail to understand the logic of this provincial government, speaking personally as one who deals daily with the constant, chronic pain of living with a spinal cord injury.

I am not someone who needs this as we are financially sound. However taking away forms of medical treatment from those who may need it is wrong.

This is a necessary service that is needed. Chiropratic care is very important especially to those who suffer from a disability, disease or injury. I

Hi. Please stop the cuts that effect low income families. There are people who need these services and can't pay for them out of pocket.
