The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There might 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, which is rare for typical private practice. Patients are strongly advised to check with their private insurance.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are 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 the Chiropractor to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited for your condition.
- 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?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
