Dr. Eveleigh's practice is located at a chiropractic clinic in Fergus, situated in the central Fergus neighborhood. The clinic is conveniently positioned near local community services and pharmacies, making it easy for patients to access comprehensive care. It is well-connected via local public transit routes, ensuring accessibility for those using public transportation. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Street parking and nearby paid lots offer convenient options for visitors.
- Is there parking available at or near our clinic?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of/behind our building.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. 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. Patients are advised to check their private insurance coverage for chiropractic benefits.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, absolutely. Therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often a key component of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Your Chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition to help improve strength, flexibility, stability, restore proper movement patterns, and promote long-term recovery and injury prevention.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their individual policy requirements.
- Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, our clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card/details and confirm their coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. The patient remains responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and getting your body functioning better (corrective care). After that, some people choose to come in for occasional check-ups to keep things working well (maintenance or wellness care), similar to how you’d see a dentist for regular cleanings.
- What are our clinic's operating hours?
- Our clinic 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 or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
