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 plans. However, some coverage might be available if care is provided in a hospital setting, which is quite rare. It is recommended that patients verify their specific coverage with RAMQ and check their private health insurance plans for potential benefits.

Is there parking available at or near Potentiel Chiropratique?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of and behind the clinic. Additionally, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and limited paid parking options are available in the public parkade located approximately one block east of the clinic. Many patients find these options convenient for their visits.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are well known for treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, as well as headaches and other musculoskeletal problems involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

The initial appointment typically involves a comprehensive history and examination and lasts around one hour. Follow-up treatments, including adjustments and therapies, generally take 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the individual treatment plan.

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

No, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec. Patients can book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider for specific requirements.
