Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be highly effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors, including Dr. Miksza, are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, and pillows to ensure both mother and baby's safety and comfort. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Miksza, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

What is Muskoka Chiropractic Clinic's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

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 joint problems—chiropractic care may be beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Miksza to perform a thorough assessment and discuss your health goals to determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition.

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 for most individuals. Limited exceptions may exist if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients should verify their coverage with private insurance providers and check their individual eligibility with OHIP.
