Chiropractic care can be instrumental in helping you rediscover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle.
- Dr. Andrée-Anne frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by pinching feeling deep inside my shoulder.

- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients are responsible for payment or can use private insurance. Care received in a hospital setting is extremely rare and not typical for chiropractic services. Always verify your coverage with your insurance provider.
- What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?
- Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which includes at least three years of undergraduate studies followed by four years at an accredited chiropractic college. The program covers anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, adjusting techniques, and rehabilitation. Graduates must pass national and provincial licensing exams to practice.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your Chiropraticien can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, chiropractors treat a broad range of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle—from your jaw to your toes—a Chiropraticien may be able to help.
