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 may be very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or Family Health Teams that have integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are strongly advised to check with their private extended health insurance plans for coverage details and reimbursement options.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?

No, in Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, and patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify your insurance policy specifics.

What are Active Chiropractic and Massage Therapy'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 Active Chiropractic and Massage Therapy?

Yes, free patient parking is available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and paid parking options are accessible in the vicinity.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program covers basic sciences like anatomy and physiology, clinical sciences including diagnostic imaging and orthopedics, and chiropractic-specific techniques. Graduates must pass national and provincial licensing examinations to practice professionally.

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

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal issues 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 safety and comfort. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Kingsley, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
