- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without the need for a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy.
- 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.
- 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 residents. There are very limited exceptions, such as care provided within certain community health programs or facilities, but these are not typical for private practice. It is recommended to verify coverage with your private insurance provider.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely 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 and feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.
- Is there parking available at or near Dr Michael White Chiropractor?
