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 might be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, which is rare for typical private practice. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services. It is recommended to check with your individual insurance provider for details about coverage and benefits.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should review their insurance policies to confirm if a referral is necessary for coverage.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The initial appointment typically involves a detailed history and examination, lasting around an hour. Follow-up visits, where adjustments and therapies are performed, are usually 15-20 minutes. The exact duration depends on your specific treatment plan and needs.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment plans. Your Chiropractor will likely demonstrate specific movements to perform at home, supporting recovery, maintaining progress, and preventing future issues.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A subluxation or joint restriction refers to a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving properly. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nerve function. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments to restore proper joint mobility and function.
