- Dr. Brandi understands how frustrating painful elbow joint can be. By aiming for feeling like their body is functioning at its best, without the constant interference of pain, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like confidently going up and down multiple flights of stairs effortlessly with renewed confidence.
- Overcoming heel spur pain making it hard to stand to achieve enhanced athletic performance due to improved biomechanics and reduced restrictions and resume getting in and out of the car without wincing is a common success story at Dr. Brandi's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.
- Imagine being able to going on long-distance cycling adventures with your local cycling club without recovering slowly after a nasty fall holding you back. Dr. Brandi works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as returning to their favorite sports and activities sooner and with more confidence, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.

- Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

We frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- What is Miller Health's appointment cancellation policy?

- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- During your initial chiropractic appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns. Expect a detailed conversation about your medical history and symptoms, followed by a physical exam focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. After the assessment, your Chiropractor will explain the findings, answer your questions, and outline a recommended course of care. You may receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors in Ontario are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients 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 the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There may 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 private practice. Patients should verify their private insurance coverage for details.
