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 individual insurance policies to confirm coverage.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

During your initial chiropractic appointment, Dr. Yee will take the time to understand your health concerns. Expect a detailed conversation about your medical history and symptoms, followed by a physical exam focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. After the assessment, Dr. Yee will explain the findings, answer your questions, and outline a recommended course of care. You may receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct the underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.

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

Chiropractic services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP for most of the population. Some limited exceptions might exist through specific government programs or if care is provided within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare. Patients should verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services.

What are the clinic's operating hours?

Canadian Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Centres 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. Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM may also be available. Please call the clinic or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.

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

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Yee will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging studies are necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. The use of imaging always adheres to established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are well known for treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, headaches, and problems related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.
