At Atlas Chiropratque, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Iannone frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Getting back to playing with your kids in the park after struggling with headaches starting from my neck base is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Alex's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to feeling less pain sensitivity in previously tender areas and a return to a more active life.
- Dr. Alex frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by difficulty bending over to pick things up. The common goal is better tolerance for physical activity without experiencing significant post-activity pain, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, rock climbing indoors and outdoors, with greater comfort and ease.
- If pinching feeling deep inside my shoulder is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying pushing myself in your weekly high-intensity spin class, know that effective chiropractic care can help. Dr. Alex focuses on achieving a better understanding of their condition and effective self-care strategies so you can engage in the things you love again.
- Imagine being able to getting a full night's restful sleep without sore feet, especially those first steps in the morning holding you back. Dr. Alex works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as being able to lift everyday objects without the fear of pain or re-injury, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.

- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, care received in hospital settings may be different, though this is rare for chiropractic services. It is advisable to verify coverage details directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for potential reimbursement options.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. Nonetheless, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Zubrickas to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment or another approach is best suited for your condition.
- Is there parking available at or near Atlas Chiropratque?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also available on nearby streets, and paid parking options are accessible in the nearby public parkade located within walking distance.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are recommended, similar to what you might wear for light exercise. This allows free movement during assessments and easy access for treatment by Dr. Zubrickas.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Yes, chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors trained in working with pregnant women, like Dr. Zubrickas, use modified techniques and specialized equipment, such as pregnancy tables and pillows, to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique, which is specifically designed to promote pelvic balance during pregnancy.
