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

• Patients often share how repetitive strain injury in my arm/wrist affected their ability to tackling challenging long hikes in the mountains on weekends with friends. With Dr. Jensen's help and a focus on relying less on pain medication and more on their body's natural healing, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
• Dr. Jensen understands how frustrating soreness in my achilles tendon after activity can be. By aiming for improved core stability, leading to better support for their spine and reduced strain, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like sticking to your regular at-home exercise and stretching routine consistently with renewed confidence.

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 are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain government-funded programs or in specific healthcare settings like Community Health Centres or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Most patients should check their private or extended health insurance plans for coverage. It is advisable to verify the details directly with your insurance provider.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Yes, chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Currie, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

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

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, 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 is recommended to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and physical examination. Your Chiropractor will discuss your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This is followed by a physical assessment, which may include postural analysis, spinal assessment, range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, your Chiropractor will discuss a diagnosis and propose a personalized treatment plan. Some treatments or advice may be provided during this initial session, if appropriate.
