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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients generally pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Coverage might vary if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare for chiropractic services. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage and consult with RAMQ for specific eligibility details.

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

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and physical examination. Dr. Lynita Haaranen will discuss your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This is followed by a physical assessment, which may include postural analysis, spinal evaluation, range of motion tests, orthopedic assessments, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan will be discussed, and some initial treatment or advice may be provided.

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 properly. This can cause pain, stiffness, and nerve interference. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments to restore proper joint mobility and nerve function.

Is there parking available at or near Dre Catherine Savaria-Lachance, chiropraticienne?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the clinic, making it convenient for patients to access the practice without difficulty.
