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 is not legally necessary to see the Chiropractor. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

That sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn't mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.

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

Ontario's OHIP generally 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, but this is rare for typical private practice. Patients should verify their private insurance coverage for details.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Campbell will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging decisions adhere to established diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their conditions effectively.
