- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Some limited exceptions might exist through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Most patients should check their private insurance plans for coverage and reimbursement options.
- What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?
- Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and biomechanics, as well as clinical sciences like diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis. Extensive hands-on clinical internship experience is also part of their training. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed to practice.
- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- During your initial chiropractic appointment, Dr. Wardrope will take the time to understand your health concerns through a detailed history and symptom discussion.

After assessing your condition, Dr. Wardrope will explain his findings, answer your questions, and outline a personalized treatment plan. You may also receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
