- If my posture just feeling 'off' and uncomfortable is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying pushing myself in your weekly high-intensity spin class, know that effective chiropractic care can help.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also sometimes called a joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and other tissues, potentially leading to pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, or other symptoms. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct the underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.
- 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specifics.
- What is Beacon Hill Chiropractic Clinic's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropractor will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
- Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. 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 this is rare. Patients should verify with their private insurance providers for coverage details.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often part of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Your Chiropractor may prescribe specific exercises to help improve strength, flexibility, and stability, supporting your long-term recovery and injury prevention.
