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 might be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within certain community health settings that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check with their private health insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement options.

What is The Wellness Hub's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning you 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 advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

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

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and physical examination. Dr. Grundy will discuss your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. A comprehensive assessment will follow, including postural analysis, spinal evaluation, range of motion tests, orthopedic assessments, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, she will discuss a diagnosis or clinical impression and propose a personalized treatment plan. Some form of treatment or advice may be provided during this initial visit.

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 along with specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Grundy, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
