What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The 'cracking' or 'popping' sound, technically called a cavitation, is thought to be caused by the release of gas (mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) from the synovial fluid within a joint when it is stretched or moved quickly during an adjustment. It's similar to the sound made when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself is not the goal of the adjustment and is not indicative of whether the treatment was effective; the primary aim is to restore proper joint motion and relieve nerve pressure.

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

In Ontario, chiropractors are considered 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 patients should check their individual insurance policies.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and can be beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants (where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive).

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

In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. Limited exceptions may include care delivered within specific government programs or in a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Moscall-Varey will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if the patient's condition is not improving with conservative care. All imaging decisions adhere to established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Is there parking available at or near our clinic?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of our building. Additional parking options include metered street parking on nearby streets and paid parking in the public parkade located a short distance from the clinic. Limited free street parking may also be available nearby for your convenience.
