Getting Started
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed in Ontario. You can book directly with Dr. Lawrence Lumba or Dr. Alex Tremblett online, and many extended health insurance plans cover chiropractic care without a physician referral. Check your specific plan for details.

Does chiropractic care hurt?
