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. Tran, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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, so it's advisable to check with your insurance provider regarding their specific requirements.

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 are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or clinics with integrated services, but these are rare. It is recommended to check with your private insurance plan for coverage details.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

During your initial chiropractic appointment, Dr. Tran will take the time to understand your health concerns through a detailed history and physical assessment, focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. She will explain her findings, discuss treatment options, and may perform your first adjustment or therapies during this visit to help set the foundation for your ongoing care.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Dr. Tran frequently works with and refers to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of her patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most chiropractors, including Dr. Tran, incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans. These support the effects of adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their conditions effectively.
