- 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. There may be very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain Community Health Centres or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details and confirm with their insurer.
- 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.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- Not necessarily. Dr. Brooks conducts a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging are clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or spinal pathology, assess for significant degeneration or instability, or if the patient’s condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. She follows established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure and only recommends imaging when justified.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care often progresses through stages. Initially, the focus is on relieving pain (relief care). Next, Dr. Brooks works on addressing the underlying cause and improving function (corrective care). Finally, some patients choose maintenance or wellness care to sustain health benefits, similar to regular dental check-ups.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s recommended to verify the requirements of your individual insurance policy.
