- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- In Ontario, 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropractor will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics for most of the population. There may be very limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, though this is rare. It is recommended to check with your private insurance for coverage details.

- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

We recommend scheduling an initial consultation, where Dr. Murgic can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition.
