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

In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also sometimes called a joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and other tissues, potentially leading to pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, or other symptoms. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.

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

Most patients in Ontario find that chiropractic care is not covered by OHIP when delivered in private clinics. There are very limited exceptions, such as care provided within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. It is advisable to check with private extended health insurance plans, as many offer coverage for chiropractic treatments. Patients should verify their specific eligibility and coverage details directly with their insurance providers.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it’s rarely painful. If your muscles are very tight or joints are inflamed, you might feel some temporary soreness afterwards, but your Chiropractor will discuss this with you and tailor the force and technique to your needs.

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. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
