- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropractor will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.

However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

- In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics.

Patients should verify coverage with their private insurance plans for reimbursement options.
