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 might 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 these are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check with their private insurance providers for coverage details and reimbursement options.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

An adjustment itself is typically not painful. You might hear a 'pop' or 'crack', which is just gas being released from the joint, not bones cracking. Some people feel a bit sore the next day, like after a workout, but this is usually mild and temporary. Your Chiropractor will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

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 very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Budish to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment or another approach is most appropriate for your condition.

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

The audible release heard during an adjustment is simply the release of gas from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It’s normal, painless, and indicates successful restoration of joint mobility. The focus is on the benefit of improved movement and function.

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

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so no referral is typically required to book an appointment. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify their insurance requirements before scheduling their visit.
