- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Moore to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might better suit your condition.
- 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 require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their insurance policy.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination typically last between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up treatment appointments are generally shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatments provided and your individual needs.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason for visits, chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and extremity issues.
- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or an improved sense of movement. Some may experience mild, temporary soreness, similar to after starting a new exercise. Dr. Moore uses techniques tailored to patient comfort, and any discomfort usually subsides quickly within 24 hours.
- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- Chiropractic care helps your body move and function better by assessing your spine and joints for restrictions or misalignments that may cause pain or interfere with your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and therapies, Dr. Moore aims to improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote overall health, helping you return to your daily activities.
- 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 individuals. Limited exceptions may exist through specific government programs or if care is provided within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check their private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.
