Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning 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, even if it is not a legal requirement to see the Chiropractor. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.
- Is there parking available at or near Apple Creek Sports Medicine Centre?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and paid parking options are accessible in the area.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and improving body function (corrective care). Afterward, some patients choose to come in periodically for maintenance or wellness care, similar to routine dental visits.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. An initial assessment with Dr. Kenning can help determine if this approach suits your needs or if other treatments are more appropriate.
- 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 residents. Very limited exceptions exist, such as care delivered within certain community health programs, but typically, patients rely on private insurance for coverage. It is recommended to verify your insurance plan details.
- Does Apple Creek Sports Medicine Centre offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Apple Creek Sports Medicine Centre offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients should bring their insurance card and confirm their coverage with their insurer, as plans and benefits vary. Patients are responsible for co-payments or any amounts not covered.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Common reasons include concerns related to posture, recovery from minor falls or sports injuries, supporting spinal health during growth, or addressing issues like colic and feeding difficulties in infants.
