What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restrictionc?

A subluxation or joint restriction is a term used to describe a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with the nerves that pass nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are 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. An initial consultation with Dr. Zarrabian can help assess your condition, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment or another approach is best suited for your needs.

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

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically involves a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education includes training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, and chiropractic-specific techniques, complemented by extensive clinical internship experience. Graduates must pass national and provincial licensing examinations to practice legally.

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

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There are limited exceptions, such as care provided within certain community health programs or hospitals, but these are not typical for private practice. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with private insurance plans, which often provide substantial chiropractic benefits.
