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?

Chiropractic treatment is generally not painful. Some techniques can cause brief mild discomfort or soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after exercise, but this typically resolves within a day or two.

How many chiropractic visits will I need?

The number of visits varies by individual, condition, and goals. After your initial assessment, your chiropractor will discuss a recommended treatment plan and expected timeline with you.
