- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction"?
- When a Chiropractor refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Common reasons parents seek chiropractic care for their children include 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.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services 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, but this is rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details.
- 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 require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify the requirements with their insurance provider.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Hadden, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
