What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

That sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn't mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.

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.

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. There may be very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within certain community health programs or hospitals, but for most private practice treatments, coverage is not provided. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for potential benefits and coverage limits.

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

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Ontario, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so patients should verify their individual policy details.

Does Dr. Wayne Coghlan: Chiropractor offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Dr. Wayne Coghlan offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients should bring their insurance information to each visit and confirm their coverage with their insurer, as plans and benefits can vary. Patients are responsible for co-payments or any amounts not covered by their plan.
