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

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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Monaghan, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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. Coverage may be limited if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare. Most patients are advised to check their private extended health insurance plans for coverage options. A few exceptions may exist, so verifying with your insurer is recommended.

What are Mulock Chiropractic's operating hours?

Mulock 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 at (905) 895-1234 or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The audible release sometimes heard during a chiropractic adjustment is simply the sound of gas being released from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It's perfectly normal and doesn't hurt. The important thing is the restoration of movement, not the sound.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to check your insurance policy's specific requirements.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Your initial consultation and examination typically last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Follow-up treatment appointments are usually shorter, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatments provided and your individual needs.
