What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and examination. Your Chiropractor will discuss your detailed health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination which may include postural analysis, spinal assessment, range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, your Chiropractor will discuss a diagnosis (or clinical impression) and propose a personalized treatment plan. Often, some form of treatment or advice is provided during this initial session, if appropriate.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination is typically the longest visit, generally lasting between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Subsequent treatment appointments are usually shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific treatments being provided and your individual needs for that day.

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

When a Chiropractor refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.

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

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most residents. However, there may be very limited exceptions through certain government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services. Patients are strongly advised to check with their private insurance providers for coverage details.

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 from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify the specifics of their insurance policies.
