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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, even if it's not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy to confirm.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. This typically requires at least three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program covers comprehensive training in basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics), clinical sciences (diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis), and chiropractic-specific subjects (adjusting techniques, rehabilitation). Graduates must also complete extensive hands-on clinical internships and pass demanding national and provincial examinations to become licensed practitioners.

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—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity issues—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.

Is there parking available at or near Hazeldean Family Chiropractic Clinic?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Additionally, metered street parking is readily available on Hazeldean Road and surrounding streets. Paid parking options are also available in the nearby public parkade located one block east of the clinic. Limited free street parking may be found in the vicinity as well.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for each child's age and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches can be helpful.

Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most residents. There are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or clinics with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Most patients rely on private insurance coverage. It is advisable to verify your specific eligibility and coverage details directly with your insurance provider.
