Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. However, care received in hospital settings may be covered, but this is uncommon for chiropractic care. It is advisable to verify coverage details directly with RAMQ and review private insurance policies for chiropractic benefits.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients can book an appointment directly with Dr. Abdilmasih without a referral. Nonetheless, some private health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The sound is a common and harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gently gapped during an adjustment, the decrease in pressure allows gases dissolved in the joint fluid to form a bubble that quickly collapses, producing the 'pop'. This sound does not indicate bones cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Dr. Abdilmasih assesses your spine and joints for restrictions or misalignments that may cause pain or affect your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and treatments, the goal is to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support overall health, enabling you to return to daily activities with greater ease.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often part of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Dr. Abdilmasih may prescribe tailored exercises to enhance strength, flexibility, and stability, promoting long-term recovery and injury prevention.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or improved movement. Some may feel mild soreness or aching temporarily, similar to post-exercise sensations, which usually resolve within 24 hours. Dr. Abdilmasih will communicate throughout to ensure your comfort.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you experience pain, stiffness, or dysfunction in your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or joint issues—chiropractic care may be beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation with Dr. Abdilmasih will allow for a thorough assessment to determine if this approach suits your health needs or if alternative treatments are recommended.
