Reliable Answers for Patients in Lindsay and the Kawartha Lakes Region

People often have similar questions when they are considering chiropractic care for the first time. This page provides clear, practical information so you can feel confident about what to expect at SpineWerX. If something you are wondering about is not listed here, you are always welcome to contact the office directly or schedule a complimentary consultation.

I need a referral to become a patient?

No. Chiropractic is a primary contact profession in Ontario and you may book an appointment without a referral.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. A complimentary in-person or phone consultation is available so you can ask questions and explore whether a full assessment is the next step.

What does the first appointment include?

Your initial assessment may include detailed posture measurements, hands-on palpation and joint/muscle/nerve spinal testing, digital posture photos, and X-rays when indicated. Everything is explained clearly.

Do you adjust on the first visit?

Sometimes if appropriate. Many people begin care after their findings review. Often we must wait to obtain diagnostic imaging taken at a different facility. Relief-focused care may be offered sooner when appropriate.

Are chiropractic adjustments comfortable?

Most people find our gentle hands-on and instrument-assisted approaches reassuring. Rest assured, techniques are always adapted to your comfort.

What services do you offer?

Services may include gentle chiropractic techniques, low-force methods, spinal decompression, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, ultrasound, traction, corrective exercise, nutrition and weight loss counselling and on-site imaging.

Do you have X-rays on site?

Yes. X-rays are available when clinically appropriate.

How soon can I get an appointment?

New patients can be seen within a range of the same day to as long as two weeks, depending on our schedule and yours.

What are your office hours?

Daytime and selected evening appointments are available. Current hours can be confirmed when booking.

Where is the clinic located?

Can you help if I have had previous back surgery?

Many people with a surgical history can receive appropriate supportive care. Recommendations are reviewed after fully assessing your case.

What if I am nervous about neck adjustments?

Your comfort guides everything. Low-force and instrument-assisted options are available, and nothing is done without clear explanation and permission.

What if I only want short-term relief?

The choice is always yours. Some people want immediate relief while others prefer a long- term plan. We support whichever path feels right for you.
