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 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. Patients are strongly advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

No, chiropractors in Ontario are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it's recommended to verify the specifics of your insurance policy.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, absolutely. Therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often key components of chiropractic care. Your Chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition to help improve strength, flexibility, and stability, promoting long-term recovery and injury prevention.

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

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires at least three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive training in basic sciences, clinical sciences, and chiropractic-specific subjects. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial licensing examinations to practice legally.

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

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. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure safety and comfort. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Saggu, are certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
