Treatments

A referral by your family doctor or specialist is required for OHIP to cover your consultation. Subsequent visits are partially covered by OHIP but will have a fee associated. 

You do not need a referral for consultation or subsequent visits. A consultation has a fee of $300 and will be booked within 1-3 weeks. Subsequent visits have a fee of $250 per hour. 

Cancellations - We require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. 

Missed appointments - If you fail to cancel an appointment with adequate notice or fail to attend your appointment you will be required to pay 100% of the appointment fee prior to booking a new appointment. 

Late Arrivals - We respect your time and ask that you respect ours. If you are running late we do ask that you notify the clinic. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may need to be rescheduled to another date.

We generally recommend booking a series of 3 appointments approximately 5-10 days apart. Depending on the age and complexity of the injury, usually 1 to 6 treatments are needed.

Please note that Dr. Davenport does need skin contact for treatment so wear appropriate clothing for this. We suggest you wear or bring shorts preferably loose fitting shorts as well as a T-shirt or tank top.  It is important to know that treatment can not be done over heavy clothing or denim. Do not wear skin lotion as this may affect your treatment. 

A mild inflammatory state occurs after FM. This is a normal part of the healing process and is necessary for the body to bring in various substances and specialized cells to clean up, nourish and rebuild the injured loose connective tissue and collagen fibers that make up the fascia. You may experience post treatment pain, swelling, and/or bruising. You might feel some unique sensations in your body following a session. These can include muscle twitches and tremors, pulsating, or heat as blood flows back into chronically starved regions. You may have pain in other areas of the body that you did not have pain before. This should subside after 2-5 days. If you have pain it is recommended that you avoid anti-inflammatories such as Advil or Naproxen. You may take Tylenol and/or apply heat to reduce pain after treatments.
