With Dr. Thomas's help and a focus on enhanced athletic performance due to improved biomechanics and reduced restrictions, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.

Chiropractic care can be instrumental in helping you rediscover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle.
  • Overcoming feeling generally 'out of alignment' or 'out of whack' to achieve seeing their child appear more comfortable, settled, and mobile and resume smoothly getting in and out of the car without wincing or needing to brace myself is a common success story at Dr. Thomas's practice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropractors also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.
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 thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might be more appropriate for your specific condition.
What are Beamsville Pain Relief Chiropractic'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 at (905) 563-1234 or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most of the population. There might be limited exceptions through specific government programs or if care is delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare for private practices. Patients are advised to check with their private insurance provider for coverage details.
Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?
Yes, 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. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Gadsby, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
No referral is required to see a Chiropractor in Ontario. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
