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, even if it's not legally necessary to see the chiropractor. Patients should check the specifics of their insurance policy.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.

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

Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided 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. It is advisable to check with your private insurance provider for coverage details.

What are Strive Spine and Sport Chiropractic's operating hours?

Strive Spine and Sport Chiropractic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.

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—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows the Chiropractor to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be more suitable for your condition.
