Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
- In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means 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 are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policy to confirm coverage.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- This 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.
- What are our clinic's operating hours?
- Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- Is there parking available at or near our clinic?
- Yes, there is usually ample parking close to the clinic entrance, with accessible parking options available. Street parking may also be available nearby, depending on the day and time.
- Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- Yes, Dr. White's clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients should bring their insurance details and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer. They are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered.
- 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. Limited exceptions may exist 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 should verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services.
