The Ontario Provincial Government Health Plan (OHIP) has "delisted" chiropractic care, meaning that the chiropractic physician's fee is no longer paid by the government. Thus this has greatly reduced the amount of patients who see a chiropractic physician to approximately 1 in 10 people. This has resulted in the Toronto chiropractic practitioners having to promote themselves as much as possible including advertisements online that need to be paid out of their own pocket.
This has led to a situation where some chiropractic practitioners are taciturn in having to pay to advertise on the Web, but because patients absolutely need to be aware of chiropractic benefits they do so anyway. Most Toronto doctors of chiropractic fully realize that paying for advertising is a necessary evil.
Despite the consequences of OHIP, chiropractors owe it to their patients to offer them proper services. Just because a patient is trying to make a chiropractic appointment should not mean that the particular patient should be stuck in antiquated ways of dealing with a doctor of chiropractic. Any other medical facility is easily found online thus should chiropractic services be the same and those interested in chiropractic help should be able to find it online. Online technology covers health information forms that can be filled out by a patient totally online, as well as adding appointment directly online. Their appointment reminders arrive as email and text messages, thus why shouldn't their chiropractic appointment reminders do so also?
There is not one solitary medical practice that cannot utilize modern technology for things such as medical scheduling of appointments where patients no longer need to wait interminably on hold to set appointments, or where patients cannot receive online appointment reminders that reach them even while working, ensuring that they keep the appointments. These are modern technology related items that other facets of medicine utilize, so why shouldn't chiropractic? The advances made with smart phones has put us in the middle of a technological breakthrough, one where young children can book appointments for their parents if their parents do not know how.
