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 generally cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients are responsible for payment or may use private insurance. Care provided within a hospital setting is a rare exception but is not typical. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with their insurance plan and to check private insurance policies for chiropractic benefits.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care often progresses through a few general phases: 1. Initial Intensive/Relief Care: This phase focuses on reducing your immediate pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Visits may be more frequent during this stage. 2. Corrective/Rehabilitative Care: Once symptoms are under control, the focus shifts to correcting underlying joint dysfunction, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and restoring normal movement patterns. Visit frequency usually decreases. 3. Wellness/Maintenance Care (Optional): Some patients choose periodic visits to maintain their improvements, prevent recurrences, and support overall spinal health and well-being. Your Chiropraticien will discuss what’s appropriate for your specific situation and goals.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropraticien will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, including infants and teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's 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 approaches can be supportive.

How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction in your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint issues—chiropractic care may be beneficial. It is recommended to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Héroux can perform a thorough assessment and discuss your health goals to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition.

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

In Quebec, chiropractors 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. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
