Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropractor will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.

Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most of the population. There may be rare exceptions, such as care delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are not typical. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement options.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Essentially, chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropractor will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

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

Chiropractors in Ontario are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.

Is there parking available at or near Millennium Health Services?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building, making your visits convenient and accessible.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers.

Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches can be supportive.
