- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- No, in Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, and patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their individual insurance policies.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- It is best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, or comfortable pants and a t-shirt are recommended. This attire enables your Chiropractor to assess your posture and perform examinations or treatments effectively. You may be asked to change into a gown if necessary.
