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 should review their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

When a Chiropractor refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.

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. There might be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare for typical private practice. Patients are advised to check with their private insurance providers for coverage details.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

We often think of care in stages. First, the goal is to relieve pain (relief care). Then, the focus shifts to correcting the root cause and improving function (corrective care). Finally, some patients opt for maintenance or wellness care to sustain health benefits, similar to routine dental check-ups.

What are Mazzuca Chiropractic Clinic's operating hours?
