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

Generally, Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most residents. 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 extended health insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement options.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

No, in Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to verify your insurance policy.

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of and behind our building. Additionally, metered street parking is readily available on Mill Street and surrounding streets. Limited paid parking options are also accessible nearby.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to post-exercise soreness, which usually subsides within 24 hours. Your Chiropractor will communicate throughout your treatment to ensure your comfort.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which involves at least three years of undergraduate study followed by four years of intensive training at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education covers basic sciences like anatomy, physiology, and neurology, as well as clinical sciences including diagnostic imaging and orthopedics.
