Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Bendell to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might better address your specific condition.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most patients. There may be limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. It's important to check your private insurance plan for coverage details.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care often progresses through an initial relief care phase focused on reducing pain and inflammation, followed by corrective or rehabilitative care to restore normal function and address underlying issues. Some patients opt for wellness or maintenance care to sustain their health and prevent recurrences. Your chiropractor will tailor the approach to your individual needs and goals.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, so you 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 to confirm specific requirements.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Bendell will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary, which is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions, assess spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition isn’t improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions adhere to established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
