Back & Spine Conditions

  • Mid-Back Pain (Thoracic Spine Pain / Interscapular Pain): Discomfort, aching, or stiffness in the area between the shoulder blades and below the neck, often related to posture, rib joint issues, or muscle strain in the thoracic spine.

Hip, Leg & Foot Conditions

  • Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis, Patellofemoral Syndrome, Meniscal Issues - Conservative): Management of knee pain through chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercises aimed at improving joint function, stability, and reducing symptoms from conditions like runner's knee or mild meniscal tears.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care

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.
What are Dr Ashley Posa, DC's operating hours?
Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
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.
What is Dr Ashley Posa, DC's appointment cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens! To ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
