How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The first visit to a Chiropractor involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up appointments where adjustments and other therapies are performed are typically 15-20 minutes. The exact duration will depend on your personalized treatment plan.

Is there parking available at or near our clinic?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the clinic. Alternatively, metered street parking is readily available on nearby streets, including [Nearby Street Name], providing convenient options for visitors.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

An adjustment itself is typically not painful. You might hear a 'pop' or 'crack,' which is just gas being released from the joint, not bones cracking. Some people feel a bit sore the next day, similar to after a workout, but this is usually mild and temporary. Your Chiropractor will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

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 suitable. This allows your Chiropractor to easily assess your posture and perform necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

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

Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most individuals. Limited exceptions exist through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, which is rare for typical private practice. It is recommended to check with your private insurance provider for coverage details.
