What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiotherapist may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Complete Care Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Clinic treat?

Physiotherapists at Complete Care Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Clinic treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. Dhvani Darshil Khajanchi has a special interest in Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Treatments often involve manual therapy, stretching and flexibility programs, general reconditioning and fitness programs, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call the clinic. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Most Ontarians rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services in private clinics. It is strongly recommended to check your private insurance coverage.

How can I book an appointment at Complete Care Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Clinic?

You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at (905) 692-0602 during business hours. The clinic may also offer online booking; check their website for details. The reception team will assist you in finding a suitable appointment time.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Check your annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and if direct billing is available. If Complete Care Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Clinic offers direct billing and your plan allows it, they can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, you'll receive a receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
