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 though it's not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.

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

Ontario's Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics. There may 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 these are rare. It is advisable to check with private insurance providers for coverage details.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The first visit to a Chiropractor involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up appointments where adjustments and other therapies are performed are typically 15-20 minutes. The exact duration will depend on your personalized treatment plan.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

A Chiropractor is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and getting your body functioning better (corrective care). After that, some people choose to come in for occasional check-ups to keep things working well (maintenance or wellness care), similar to how you'd see a dentist for regular cleanings.

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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Your Chiropractor 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 spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition isn't improving as expected with conservative care. This approach adheres to established diagnostic imaging guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Is there parking available at or near Cornerstone Family Chiropractic?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also readily available on surrounding streets. Additionally, paid parking options are available in the public parkade located nearby. Limited free street parking may also be found in the vicinity.
