Our Services

Oakville Osteopathic Clinic provides hands-on osteopathic care focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. Your initial osteopathic appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment. Your osteopathic practitioner reviews your symptoms, injury history, posture, movement patterns, lifestyle factors, and overall health concerns. You leave your visit with a clear treatment plan and recommended next steps. Common conditions we treat include:

Ankle Pain and Foot Injury

Support for sprains, overuse injuries, mobility limitations, and foot or ankle discomfort affecting daily activity.

Our Team of Osteopathic Practitioners

Our osteopathic practitioners prioritize patient education, collaborative care, and clear treatment planning. You are given the time and space to explain your concerns, ask questions, and understand your body’s movement patterns. Care is practical, goal-oriented, and adapted to your comfort level. Your osteopathic practitioner works with you through a clear process:

Assessment

A personalized care plan with realistic goals, priorities, and a clear treatment approach.

Follow-up

Coordination

When appropriate, shared care may be encouraged with your family physician or other regulated healthcare providers for imaging, referrals, or additional support. You are kept informed throughout your care. If you need assistance between visits, our team will help guide you toward the next appropriate step, whether that is scheduling a follow-up or requesting documentation.

Payments, Receipts, and Insurance Claim Reimbursement

We aim to make payments and receipts straightforward. Payment is completed online, and an email receipt is issued after your appointment. If your insurance plan includes osteopathic services, you may submit your receipt for reimbursement. The process typically includes:

• Booking your appointment
• Completing payment after your visit
• Receiving an email receipt
• Submitting the receipt to your insurance provider
• Receiving reimbursement based on your plan

Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. Some plans include osteopathic care under paramedical benefits with annual limits. Our receipts include the details commonly required by insurers. If additional documentation is requested or if you need a duplicate receipt, our team can assist. We recommend keeping all receipts for insurance and tax records. Before your first visit, you may wish to ask your insurance provider:

• Do you cover osteopathic treatment
• Is a referral required
• What is the annual coverage limit
• What percentage is reimbursed
• Do you cover virtual visits if applicable

This brief check can help you plan your care with confidence.
