The clinic is well-connected to public transportation, with Burlington Transit services nearby, ensuring easy access for patients from various parts of the city. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

Is there parking available at or near Headon Chiropractic Wellness Centre?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building, making it convenient for patients visiting the clinic.

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

Not necessarily. Dr. Jasek will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging are needed. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, to assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. This approach adheres to established diagnostic imaging guidelines to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Your initial consultation and examination are typically the longest, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatments provided and your individual needs on that day.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, which means you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your specific insurance policy for details.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for the child's age and developmental stage. Many parents 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.

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. Limited exceptions exist through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, which is rare. It is recommended to check private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.

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. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Jasek to perform a thorough assessment and discuss your health goals to determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be more suitable for your condition.
