At Trent Hills Health Centre, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Rawluk frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Overcoming a slipped disc issue causing agony to achieve a significant reduction in the severity and daily impact of TMJ symptoms and resume playing a full round of golf without stiffness is a common success story at Dr. Tara's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.
• Dr. Tara frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, and body-wide tenderness. The common goal is feeling less 'locked up' or stiff after periods of sitting or inactivity, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, rock climbing indoors and outdoors, with greater comfort and ease.
• Dr. Tara understands how frustrating soreness on the inside of my elbow (golfer's elbow) can be. By aiming for a greater sense of control over their symptoms and physical well-being, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like tying your own shoelaces without difficulty with renewed confidence.
• Getting back to reading a book for hours comfortably after struggling with recovering slowly after a nasty fall is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Tara's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to being able to lift everyday objects without the fear of pain or re-injury and a return to a more active life.

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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Rawluk, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Ontario's OHIP generally does NOT cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. 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, but such cases are rare. Most patients should verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.

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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

Is there parking available at or near Trent Hills Health Centre?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking is also available nearby, and paid parking options can be found in the public parkade located about one block east of the clinic.
