- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Dr. Voisin encourages you to schedule an initial consultation where she can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might better suit your needs.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally suitable. This helps your chiropractor assess your posture and movement easily, and perform necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also sometimes called a joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, potentially causing pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, or other symptoms. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.
- Is there parking available at or near Massage Addict Kitchener?
- Yes, there is usually free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the building. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking options are accessible in nearby public parkades. Limited free street parking may also be available in the vicinity.
- 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. Some limited exceptions exist, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or hospital settings, but for most private practice treatments, patients rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket. It’s advisable to verify your coverage with your insurance provider.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s best to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
