At Durham Spine & Sports Clinic, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Beauvais frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many individuals visit Dr. Jeremy because they are tired of dealing with dull, constant lower back ache. Through a personalized chiropractic care plan, they often find they can achieve regaining functional strength in previously weak or injured areas and get back to enjoying important activities like actively coaching your kid's soccer/hockey/baseball team from the sidelines.
• Dr. Jeremy frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by tendonitis pain in my [shoulder/elbow/knee/achilles]. The common goal is a better understanding of their body and how to prevent future flare-ups, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, participating in sailing regattas or leisurely boating activities, with greater comfort and ease.
• Getting back to playing with your dog, including throwing a ball or going for vigorous runs after struggling with feeling unbalanced and like one side is higher is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Jeremy's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to waking up feeling more rested and with less morning stiffness and a return to a more active life.
• Imagine being able to performing all basic daily movements naturally, without constantly thinking about potential pain without feeling unsteady on my feet, like i might fall holding you back. Dr. Jeremy works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as feeling less 'locked up' or stiff after periods of sitting or inactivity, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.

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

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and getting your body functioning better (corrective care). After that, some people choose to come in for occasional check-ups to keep things working well (maintenance or wellness care), similar to how you'd see a dentist for regular cleanings.

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 still require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their insurance policy.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Your Chiropractor will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions, such as fractures or pathology, or if your condition is not improving as expected, always following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for the child's age and size. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support spinal health during growth, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle approaches may be helpful.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also called joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, potentially causing pain, inflammation, or reduced mobility. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.

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

In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There may be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services—though this is rare. Patients are encouraged to check with their private insurance plans for coverage.

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. Consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Beauvais, who can assess your condition and help determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your needs.
