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 generally pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. However, care received in hospital settings may differ. It is advisable to verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance plan for details.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally good choices. This allows Dr. Harmony Miraliakbari to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

A Chiropraticien is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.

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

Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and age-appropriate. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns such as 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 should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit involves a thorough consultation and examination. Dr. Harmony Miraliakbari will discuss your health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. This is followed by physical assessments, including postural analysis, spinal evaluation, range of motion, orthopedic, and neurological tests. Based on these, a personalized treatment plan will be proposed, and some initial treatment or advice may be provided if appropriate.
