• Imagine being able to confidently stand-up paddleboarding, even in choppy water without coccyx pain after a fall holding you back.

• Patients often share how bulging disc symptoms affected their ability to dancing the night away at weddings and social events without a care. With Dr. Cameron's help and a focus on improved core stability, leading to better support for their spine and reduced strain, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
• Getting back to playing your guitar/piano/drums/violin for extended practice sessions after struggling with heel spur pain making it hard to stand is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Cameron's clinic.

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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Edgar, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

What are Edgar Family Chiropractic's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office at (XXX) XXX-XXXX or check our website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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 limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is provided within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare for private practice. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify the specifics of your insurance policy.

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 problems—chiropractic care may be beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Edgar to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited to your needs.
