For the last decade, the Ontario Chiropractic Association has been asking the provincial government to allow chiropractors to practice to the fullest extent of their legislated scop of practice by providing access to lab tests and advanced imaging. This will decrease wait times for patients, and provide faster treatment and pain management, while saving costs to the healthcare system. The OCA is saying:
–Allow chiropractors to order the lab tests and advanced imaging to reduce strain on the healthcare system.
–Chiropractors are qualified to interpret many diagnostic tests, but aren't allowed to order most of them for their patients.
–With lesss red tape, patients can get faster access to chiropractic treatment without the delay of travelling to their family doctor for multiple appointments.
– Chiropractors are highly educated, trained professionals, who use an evidence- based approach to diagnose and trear millions of people.
