What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

A Chiropractor is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.

Does Delhi Chiropractic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Delhi Chiropractic offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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

Chiropractors in Ontario 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 still require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The 'cracking' or 'popping' sound, technically called a cavitation, is thought to be caused by the release of gas (mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) from the synovial fluid within a joint when it is stretched or moved quickly during an adjustment. It’s similar to the sound made when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself is not the goal of the adjustment and is not indicative of whether the treatment was effective; the primary aim is to restore proper joint motion and relieve nerve pressure.

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 of the population. There are limited exceptions, such as care provided within certain government-funded programs or if delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, though this is rare. Patients are strongly advised to verify their private insurance coverage and benefits.
