Safety
Is chiropractic care safe?
Serious complications from chiropractic care are rare. Mild soreness for a day or two, similar to after a workout, is the most common side effect. Before any treatment you're screened for warning signs, and you can say no to any technique.
Tell Dr. Alex if you have osteoporosis, take blood thinners, have inflammatory arthritis, or have had recent surgery, so treatment can be adapted.
- A sudden, severe headache unlike any you've had before
- Dizziness, double vision, trouble speaking or swallowing, or numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg
- New trouble walking, or loss of balance or coordination
- Loss of bladder or bowel control, new trouble passing urine, or numbness in the groin or inner thighs
- Leg weakness that's getting worse
- Chest pain or shortness of breath
- Pain after a recent fall, car crash or other trauma, or pain with fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer

Common questions
In-home chiropractic questions
ReferralDo I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Ontario?
No. You can book directly. Some extended health plans have their own rules for reimbursement, so check your plan if you plan to claim.
OHIPIs chiropractic covered by OHIP?
No, OHIP doesn't cover chiropractic care in Ontario. Many extended health benefit plans do include it, so check your plan's details.
ComfortDoes a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most people don't find adjustments painful. You may hear a pop, which is gas releasing from the joint. Some people feel a little sore for a day. If you'd rather not be adjusted, gentler options like mobilization and soft tissue work are available.
SpaceHow much space do I need for a home visit?
About the size of a yoga mat for the folding table, plus room to walk around it. Most living rooms, bedrooms and basements work fine.
SeniorsIs chiropractic safe for seniors or people with osteoporosis?
Often, yes, with the right approach. Treatment is adapted to your age, bone health and comfort, and gentler techniques like mobilization and soft tissue work can be used instead of adjustments.
BothCan I see a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?
Yes. Doorstep Doc is a family practice with a chiropractor and a physiotherapist, so your care can be coordinated if you see both.
