What do our Mississauga Chiropractors do?

Chiropractors are specially trained to locate and correct misalignments in the spine that can create stress on the nerve system. The misalignments causing nerve stress are referred to as vertebral subluxations.

Some people assume that Chiropractors only help people having lower back pain or neck pain, but many people are discovering that Chiropractic services can have many more amazing benefits.

Is Chiropractic covered under WSIB?

Yes, chiropractic treatment is covered under WSIB in Ontario. There are programs of care specifically designed for back pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and shoulder injuries. Our Mississauga office is able to help you recover your best in order to help you return to work. WSIB will help you cover the cost of your care with certain parameters. To determine what those parameters are it is best to consult with the Chiropractor in order to see if your case is a Chiropractic case and then coordinate that with WSIB. Our Chiropractors will do their best to help you recover from your work injury and return to work.

Is Chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic treatments, including adjustments, are both effective and safe. Chiropractic is widely recognized as being one of the safest conservative, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for a wide variety of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions. The risk associated with Chiropractic treatments is less than that of many common pain and anti-inflammation medications. The risk of serious injury from Chiropractic care is estimated to be one in four million, which means that you are more likely to be hit by lightning four times before you are seriously injured by a Chiropractor. Interestingly, new patients at a Chiropractic office are very surprised to see how gentle and specific a Chiropractic adjustment actually is. Chiropractors are specially trained to identify and gently correct misalignments in the spine called subluxations. Chiropractors have to go through specialized training programs for four years after graduating from university. If you have more questions regarding Chiropractic treatment, the best thing to do is to contact the office to meet with a Chiropractor to discuss your individual case and concerns.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

Many of our patients are referred by their family doctors, but as Chiropractors are primary care health practitioners you do not need a referral. Another way to describe Chiropractors is that they are primary contact health care providers. If you are looking for ways to refer a friend or family member to our office for chiropractic services, the process is simple – Contact us and our helpful front desk staff at Erin Mills Optimum Health will coordinate a time and details of information in order to connect with the Chiropractor.

Is chiropractic covered under insurance?

Yes, chiropractic is covered by most employee health benefit plans. Check with your individual plan to determine if your insurance plan will cover your chiropractic treatment. Keep in mind that work-related injuries are covered by WSIB, and that automobile insurance will pay to help you recover from injuries that are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Your personal health benefit insurance is used first prior to the motor vehicle insurance being used. If your insurance coverage does not cover the entire cost of your chiropractic care, keep in mind that chiropractic care is not very expensive! In fact, when comparing cost-effectiveness for health challenges like back pain, chiropractic is one of the most cost-effective ways to address a back problem, and stop it from resurfacing. Check out the Manga report on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic management of lower back pain. Our patients also consistently show high satisfaction rates with chiropractic care and its benefits.
