What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

When a Chiropraticien refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

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 typically requires at least three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics; clinical sciences including diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis; and chiropractic-specific subjects like adjusting techniques and rehabilitation. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial licensing examinations to practice legally.

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

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. For hospital-based care, coverage may differ, but this is rare for chiropractic treatment. It is advisable to verify coverage with private insurance providers and check eligibility with RAMQ if applicable.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists. This interprofessional approach ensures comprehensive and optimal care tailored to each patient's needs.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women using modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Creasor, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
