At Lambeth Chiropractic and Wellness Center, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Granger frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dr. Sydney frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by problems with a disc in my back/neck. The common goal is better tolerance for physical activity without experiencing significant post-activity pain, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, playing a full round of golf without stiffness, with greater comfort and ease.
• Imagine being able to spending hours gardening and landscaping without pain the next day without shoulder pain when reaching up high holding you back. Dr. Sydney works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as finding that headaches are far less frequent and intense, improving focus and mood, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.
• Dr. Sydney understands how frustrating pain between my shoulder blades, like a stabbing feeling can be. By aiming for experiencing significant relief from nagging lower back pain, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like operating machinery safely and efficiently with renewed confidence.

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. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy to confirm coverage.

Does Lambeth Chiropractic and Wellness Center offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Lambeth Chiropractic and Wellness Center offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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

The 'cracking' or 'popping' sound, technically called a cavitation, is thought to be caused by the release of gas (mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) from the synovial fluid within a joint when it is stretched or moved quickly during an adjustment. It’s similar to the sound made when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself is not the goal of the adjustment and does not indicate whether the treatment was effective; the primary aim is to restore proper joint motion and relieve nerve pressure.

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 may 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 these are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check their private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Absolutely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretching into their treatment plans. These support the effects of adjustments, help correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their condition effectively.
