What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

It's best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally good choices. This allows your Chiropractor to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

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.

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

Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most residents. There may be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within certain settings like Community Health Centres or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services. It’s important to check your private insurance plan for coverage details and reimbursement policies.

What is MMD Chiropractic Health Centre'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.

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 or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy to confirm any requirements.
