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

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, even if it is not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients should check the specifics of their insurance policy to confirm.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.

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

Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. Limited exceptions may exist through specific government programs or within certain health networks, but typically, chiropractic care is billed privately. Patients are advised to check with their private insurance plans for coverage details.

Does Labelle Chiropractic Clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Labelle Chiropractic Clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients should bring their insurance information and verify coverage with their insurer, as plans and reimbursement amounts vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Thiesburger to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition or if another approach might be more suitable.
