- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There may be very limited exceptions 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 for typical private practice. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage and check with their insurance provider for specific details.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Yes, chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Hie, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
