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

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics for most residents. There may be very limited exceptions if the care is provided within a Community Health Centre or a Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare. Most patients should verify their coverage with their private insurance plans and understand that they often provide significant chiropractic benefits.

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

No, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While back pain is a common condition treated by chiropractors, their expertise extends to a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal issues affecting the entire body. This includes neck, shoulder, hip, knee, foot problems, headaches, and issues involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.

Is there parking available at or near LIVEMAX Health Group?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also available on nearby streets, and limited paid parking options are accessible in the vicinity.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. Most chiropractors incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans to support recovery, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their conditions effectively.
