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

In Ontario, OHIP generally 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 certain integrated health settings, but for most patients, private insurance coverage is the primary means of reimbursement. Patients are advised to verify their insurance details directly with their provider.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for a child's 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.

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

The sound commonly heard during an adjustment is caused by the release of gas from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It is completely normal, painless, and indicates that the joint has been mobilized to restore movement and function.

Is there parking available at or near Breslau Chiropractic?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and paid parking options are accessible in the vicinity.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, and patients can book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider for specific requirements.
