What?! No medical referral/note required to see a chiropractor?! Yup, that's right! You do not require a medical referral/note to visit and seek care from a chiropractor in Canada. This is because chiropractors are legislated as primary care professionals in each province of Canada. What does that mean? It means you can pick up your phone right now and call your local chiropractor and book an appointment right away (or use online booking if that's more your thing). This is wonderful knowledge because if you're suffering from neck, low back, headaches or any muscle or joint pain you can access the care you need immediately. No long waits, no bouncing from appointment to appointment. The health care you need is immediately accessible, saving you time.
Chiropractors also work closely with medical doctors to make sure that your health is in the best state it can be. It is routine for medical doctors and chiropractors to refer patients between one another so that the patient can have their needs met in the most timely manner possible. Whether that's manual treatment, rehabilitation, diagnotic imaging, blood work or special tests, your chiropractor and medical doctor work as a team to get you access to these health care services. Health care is better when everyone works as a team. Here at Nurture Family Chiropractic in Guelph, that's exactly what we do. We make sure the care you're getting is the RIGHT kind of care for your needs.
