- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Cheng will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are clinically necessary. 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 a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions adhere to established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- No, in Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means you 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?
- Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires at least three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and biomechanics, along with clinical sciences like diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis. The program also emphasizes chiropractic-specific techniques and includes extensive hands-on clinical internship. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial examinations to become licensed practitioners.
- 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. It is recommended that you schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Cheng can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition or if another approach might be more appropriate.
- What is Complete Balance Neuro Acupuncture and Rehab's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or canceled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
- 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. Limited exceptions may exist if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. For most patients, private insurance is the primary coverage source, so it is recommended to verify your individual plan's benefits.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific procedures and your individual needs for that session.
