At Clinique Dr Allyson Chiro, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Allyson frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Patients often share how weak ankles that seem to twist easily affected their ability to looking forward to and enjoying long drives and scenic road trips again. With Dr. Charles's help and a focus on regaining functional strength in previously weak or injured areas, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
- Dr. Charles understands how frustrating my back going out frequently can be. By aiming for experiencing fewer and less intense muscle spasms, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like volleyball games with friends with renewed confidence.
- Getting back to simply relaxing on the couch with your family or pets without any underlying pain after struggling with feeling generally 'out of alignment' or 'out of whack' is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Charles's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to enhanced athletic performance due to improved biomechanics and reduced restrictions and a return to a more active life.
- Many individuals visit Dr. Charles because they are tired of dealing with clicking and popping in my jaw when I eat. Through a personalized chiropractic care plan, they often find they can achieve feeling more comfortable and supported throughout pregnancy and get back to enjoying important activities like strength training at the gym.
Your personalized chiropractic care plan, developed with Dr. Allyson, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, absolutely. Therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often a key component of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Your Chiropraticien may prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition to help improve strength, flexibility, stability, restore proper movement patterns, and promote long-term recovery and injury prevention.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Lynes will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions like fractures or significant spinal pathology, to assess for instability, or if your condition isn't improving as expected with conservative care. She always adheres to established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
- 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.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Your initial chiropractic consultation and examination is typically the longest visit, generally lasting between 45 to 60 minutes to allow for a thorough assessment. Subsequent treatment appointments are usually shorter, often ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific treatments being provided and your individual needs for that day.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients generally pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. In rare cases, care received in hospital settings might be different, but this is not typical. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with their private insurance providers and consult RAMQ if applicable.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
