At Dr. James E. Aru's practice, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Aru frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Patients often share how poor posture from my desk job causing neck/back ache affected their ability to easily carrying all the groceries from the car in one or two trips. With Dr. James's help and a focus on an undeniable improvement in their overall quality of life and daily happiness, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
  • For those whose strained back muscles after yard work has made working comfortably at your standing desk a challenge, Dr. James offers a path towards feeling more aligned and balanced in their posture. Chiropractic care can be instrumental in helping you rediscover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle.
  • Overcoming carpal tunnel symptoms flaring up to achieve a significant reduction in the severity and daily impact of TMJ symptoms and resume volunteering in your community is a common success story at Dr. James's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.
  • Many individuals visit Dr. James because they are tired of dealing with that waddling feeling and hip pain during pregnancy. Through a personalized chiropractic care plan, they often find they can achieve better tolerance for physical activity without experiencing significant post-activity pain and get back to enjoying important activities like shoveling snow or raking leaves without dreading the aftermath.

Your personalized chiropractic care plan, developed with Dr. Aru, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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 for most of the population. There may be very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are advised to check with their private insurance providers and extended health plans for coverage details.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
No, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their insurance policies for specific requirements.
What are our clinic's operating hours?
Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Aru will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions like fractures or pathology, assess spinal degeneration or instability, or if the patient's condition is not improving as expected. All imaging decisions adhere to established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
The initial appointment involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up visits, where adjustments and therapies are performed, are usually 15-20 minutes. The exact duration depends on your personalized treatment plan.
Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
Yes, our clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients should bring their insurance card and confirm coverage with their insurer, as plans and benefits vary. Patients are responsible for co-payments or amounts not covered by their insurance plan.
