In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics.

Patients are advised to check with their private insurance providers for coverage details.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments), manual therapies, exercise, and lifestyle counseling to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural healing ability. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Care typically involves stages. First, relief care aims to get you out of pain. Next, corrective care works on fixing the root cause and improving function. Finally, maintenance or wellness care helps you keep optimal health, similar to regular dental check-ups.

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. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Tremain to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition.

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. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement, so it is advisable to check your specific insurance policy.
