Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

Not necessarily. Dr. Darrach will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging studies are clinically necessary.

Yes, Upper Canada Chiropractic Centre offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients should bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.

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

Generally, OHIP does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics for most residents. There are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or clinics with integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are encouraged to verify their private insurance coverage, as most plans do include chiropractic benefits.
