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 problems—chiropractic care may be highly beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Cubos to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might be better suited to your specific condition.

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

In Quebec, 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

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

A subluxation or joint restriction refers to a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should, which can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nerve function. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through specific adjustments.

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

The sound is a common phenomenon called joint cavitation, which occurs when a joint is gapped during an adjustment. The decrease in pressure allows dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form bubbles that quickly collapse, producing the familiar 'pop' sound. Many effective adjustments are performed without any sound.

Does Chiro Saint-Bruno offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, our clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients should bring their insurance card and verify their coverage with their insurer, as plans and reimbursement amounts vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints like back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica caused by hormonal changes and biomechanical shifts. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women, using modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure safety and comfort for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, including Dr. Cubos, are certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Limited coverage may exist for seniors or dependents under certain conditions, but for most adults, care is self-paid. Patients are encouraged to verify their specific insurance coverage and consult with their insurer for details.
