• Dr. Thorin understands how frustrating poor posture from my desk job causing neck/back ache can be. By aiming for enjoying a noticeable reduction in neck stiffness and related tension, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like sitting through long, important meetings without fidgeting or back pain with renewed confidence.
• Getting back to simply relaxing on the couch with your family or pets without any underlying pain after struggling with pain when twisting my back to reach for something is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Thorin's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to seeing their child appear more comfortable, settled, and mobile and a return to a more active life.
• Imagine being able to losing myself for hours painting or sculpting in your art studio without feeling like the tin man needing oil holding you back. Dr. Thorin works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as being able to actively keep up with their children or grandchildren, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.

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

In Ontario, OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most residents. There are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within a Community Health Centre or Family Health Team that includes chiropractic services, but these are rare. It's important to check with private extended health insurance plans for coverage details, as many offer significant benefits for chiropractic care. Patients are advised to verify their specific coverage with their insurance provider.

What are Nexus Chiropractic's operating hours?

Nexus Chiropractic 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 also offer Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please contact the clinic at (555) 123-4567 or visit our website at www.nexuschiro.ca for the most current hours and practitioner availability.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments), manual therapies, exercise, and lifestyle counseling to relieve pain, restore function, and enhance your body's natural ability to heal. It can be particularly effective for issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

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 require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A subluxation or joint restriction refers to a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and may interfere with the nerves passing nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through precise adjustments to restore proper joint function.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be highly effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors trained in working with pregnant women use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure both mother and baby are comfortable and safe. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Gault, are certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women, which can help promote pelvic balance and ease common pregnancy-related discomforts.
