- 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.
- Does Toronto Health & Physical Rehabilitation Clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Toronto Health & Physical Rehabilitation Clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients should bring their insurance card/details and confirm their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts can vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Panahloo, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Is there parking available at or near Toronto Health & Physical Rehabilitation Clinic?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking is accessible in the public parkade located one or two blocks east of our clinic. Limited free street parking may also be available in the vicinity.
- 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. Some limited exceptions exist, such as care delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare for typical private practice. Patients should check their private insurance plans for coverage.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your Chiropractor can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
