What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct the underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

What is the WELLNESS WAY co'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.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants (where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive).

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, meaning 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 is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There might 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. Patients should verify coverage with their private insurance plans and check eligibility with OHIP if applicable.
