- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors in Ontario 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's not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.
- 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. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Schultz can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited for your specific condition.
- What are Physiomed: Erin Mills'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 or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropractor will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific treatments and your individual needs for that day.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There may be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare for typical private practice. Patients should verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.
