Dr. Kayla M. Cole

Dr. Kayla M. Cole provides skilled chiropractic care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Back & Spine Conditions

• Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) / Spondylosis: Age-related 'wear and tear' changes in the spinal discs and joints that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Spondylosis refers to general spinal degeneration.
• Spinal Stenosis (Cervical or Lumbar - Symptomatic): Narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness, often in the legs (lumbar) or arms (cervical).
• Mid-Back Pain (Thoracic Spine Pain / Interscapular Pain): Discomfort, aching, or stiffness in the area between the shoulder blades and below the neck, often related to posture, rib joint issues, or muscle strain in the thoracic spine.
• Facet Joint Syndrome / Facet Pain: Treatment for facet joint irritation or 'locking,' aiming to restore normal joint mechanics and reduce associated pain and stiffness.

Shoulder, Arm & Hand Conditions

• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition characterized by significant stiffness, pain, and progressive loss of range of motion in the shoulder joint, making everyday tasks difficult.
• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) of the Upper Limb: Relief for symptoms caused by overuse of the hands, wrists, and arms in work or daily activities.
• Nerve Entrapments (e.g., Thoracic Outlet, Cubital Tunnel): Chiropractic care to address mechanical nerve compression syndromes such as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome or Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, aiming to relieve pressure and restore nerve function.

Specific Populations & Injury Types

• Sports Injuries (Acute & Overuse): Helping you recover from common sports injuries like runner's knee, shoulder strains, or ankle sprains, and optimizing your biomechanics for better performance.
• Postpartum Musculoskeletal Issues: Addressing physical challenges after childbirth, such as persistent back or pelvic pain, core weakness (including diastasis recti co-management), postural strain from childcare, and discomfort from C-section scar tissue.
• Pediatric Musculoskeletal Conditions (e.g., Growing Pains, Postural Concerns): Gentle chiropractic care for infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on issues like non-specific growing pains, postural imbalances, recovery from minor sports injuries, or concerns related to spinal development, using age-appropriate techniques.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Dr. Cole can assess your needs.

• Gonstead Technique: A specific system of analysis (including X-ray review, instrumentation) and full-spine manual adjustments designed for precision and thoroughness (practitioner specialization).
• Diversified Technique: Classic chiropractic adjustments characterized by precise, gentle thrusts to correct joint dysfunction.
• Activator Methods® Technique: Instrument-based adjustments for a specific and gentle approach to joint care.
• Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT®): A gentle technique focusing on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and occiput (base of the skull), often using pelvic blocks and cranial work to restore nervous system function (practitioner certification dependent).
• Thompson Drop-Table Technique: Low-force adjustments facilitated by a segmented 'drop piece' table to enhance joint mobilization.
• Flexion-Distraction Therapy (e.g., Cox® Technic): Spinal decompression and mobilization performed on a specialized table to relieve pressure on discs and nerves.

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

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means 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. It's advisable to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy to confirm coverage.

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. 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 for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Cole, 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?

Ontario Health Insurance Plan (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, but this is rare for typical private practice. Patients are strongly advised to check their private insurance coverage for chiropractic benefits.

What is Wilson Health Services'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.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropractor will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.
