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, even if it's not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Dr. Giannone frequently works alongside and refers to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists to ensure comprehensive and optimal care for his patients.

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 are very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is provided within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but such cases are rare. Patients should check their private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.

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

The 'cracking' or 'popping' sound, technically called cavitation, is 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. This sound is similar to cracking your knuckles. It is not the goal of the adjustment nor an indicator of treatment effectiveness; the primary purpose is to restore joint motion and reduce nerve pressure.

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 beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Giannone to 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 condition.

What is SWAT Health Port Credit's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! To accommodate all patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a fee. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
