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 very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but such cases are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement policies.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropractor, Dr. Spina is trained to diagnose and treat many conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and pain in the arms or legs.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Dr. Spina will likely demonstrate specific movements for you to do at home, which can help speed recovery, maintain progress, and prevent future issues.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The sound often heard during a chiropractic adjustment is caused by the release of gas from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It is perfectly normal and does not cause pain. The primary goal of the adjustment is restoring joint movement and function.

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

No, in Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients 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’s best to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree program. This typically involves at least three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The curriculum covers anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, adjusting techniques, rehabilitation, and includes extensive clinical internships. Graduates must pass national and provincial board exams to become licensed practitioners.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for movement, such as gym attire or loose-fitting pants and a top. This facilitates the physical examination and active treatment components.
