• Getting back to attending concerts and live events after struggling with general muscle aches and stiffness all over my body is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Michael's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to accomplishing physical goals they once thought were out of reach and a return to a more active life.

With Dr. Michael's help and a focus on feeling less 'locked up' or stiff after periods of sitting or inactivity, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
• Experience the significant benefit of better tolerance for physical activity without experiencing significant post-activity pain if you're dealing with sharp pain in my lumbar area. Dr. Michael helps patients regain their ability to fully participate in activities like competing effectively in your curling league bonspiels through focused and gentle chiropractic treatments.
• Dr. Michael frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by pubic bone pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction). The common goal is a better understanding of their body and how to prevent future flare-ups, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, sticking to your regular at-home exercise and stretching routine consistently, with greater comfort and ease.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it's rarely painful. If your muscles are very tight or joints are inflamed, you might feel some temporary soreness afterwards, but your Chiropractor will discuss this with you and tailor the force and technique to your needs.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Campeanu will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is clinically necessary. Typically, imaging is recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures, tumors, or significant spinal degeneration, especially if your symptoms are severe, persistent, or not improving with conservative care. This approach helps minimize unnecessary radiation exposure while ensuring an accurate diagnosis.

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

No. In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to check your individual policy.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase aimed at correcting underlying issues, restoring function, and strengthening affected areas. Many patients also choose wellness or maintenance care to help sustain their progress and prevent future problems. The specific plan will be tailored to your needs and goals.

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

Chiropractic services are generally not covered by OHIP for most residents. However, some limited exceptions exist, such as care provided within certain community health programs or hospital-based clinics, though these are rare. For most private clinic treatments, patients should consult their private insurance plans for coverage and benefits. It is recommended to verify your coverage details directly with your insurance provider.
