What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A subluxation or joint restriction is a term used to describe a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with the nerves that pass nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.

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

Typically, X-rays are not required for every patient. Dr. Kazemi will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is usually recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, assess significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if your condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. This approach helps minimize unnecessary radiation exposure and ensures accurate diagnosis.

Do Chiropractors work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, chiropractors often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it benefits patient care.

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. There may be very limited exceptions through specific programs or if care is delivered within a community health center or family health team with integrated chiropractic services, but this is rare. Patients should check with their private insurance plans for coverage details.

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

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 require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify their insurance policies for specific requirements.
