What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care often progresses through a few general phases: 1. **Initial Intensive/Relief Care:** This phase focuses on reducing your immediate pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Visits may be more frequent during this stage. 2. **Corrective/Rehabilitative Care:** Once symptoms are under control, the focus shifts to correcting underlying joint dysfunction, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and restoring normal movement patterns. Visit frequency usually decreases. 3. **Wellness/Maintenance Care (Optional):** Some patients choose periodic visits to maintain their improvements, prevent recurrences, and support overall spinal health and well-being. Your Chiropractor will discuss what's appropriate for your specific situation and goals.

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.

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

Unfortunately, in Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most of the population. There are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain Community Health Centres or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are uncommon. Patients are advised to check their private extended health insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement options.
