Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropractor will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- Chiropractors in Ontario 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy to confirm coverage.
- 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—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows the Chiropractor to perform a comprehensive assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might be more appropriate.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There are very limited exceptions, such as care provided within certain Community Health Centres or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage.
