Referral For Chiropractic
“Do You Need A Family Doctor Referral To See A Chiropractor?”
An excellent question that I would like to answer for you today is … “ If I want to go to a chiropractor, do I need to be referred by my family doctor?”.
Chiropractors are licensed and legislated as primary health care providers in every province in Canada.
This means that you can go to a chiropractor directly. You do not require a referral from your family doc.

Again, you can consult with a chiropractor directly and there is no need for a medical referral. And the same thing applies of you have suffered a personal injury – a whiplash injury to your neck – in a car accident for example. You can consult with a chiropractor directly.
In fact, for most conditions and injuries involving the spine and skeletal system a chiropractic examination is your first and best choice. Why? Because this is our expertise.
This is what we do. If there are complications that are outside our scope of practice, then we would refer you to the appropriate medical specialist right away.
If you have any further questions on this topic or any other health concerns that you may have or your family may have, please give us a call.
Remember that in our office consultations are always free of charge and we also offer family appointments.
The reason for this is because subluxations and spinal problems tend to run in families.
