Dr. Christine Dionne

Dr. Aron Enns provides skilled chiropractic care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Back & Spine Conditions

• Herniated, Protruded, or Bulging Discs (Symptomatic): A condition where the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes out, potentially pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, arms or legs.
• Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) / Spondylosis: Age-related 'wear and tear' changes in the spinal discs and joints that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Spondylosis refers to general spinal degeneration.
• Sciatica & Lumbar Radiculopathy (Radiating Leg Pain): Pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back down one or both legs, often caused by irritation or compression of a spinal nerve root in the lumbar spine.
• Mid-Back Pain (Thoracic Spine Pain / Interscapular Pain): Discomfort, aching, or stiffness in the area between the shoulder blades and below the neck, often related to posture, rib joint issues, or muscle strain in the thoracic spine.

Head, Neck & Jaw Conditions

• Tinnitus (Cervicogenic/Somatosensory): Investigating and addressing potential musculoskeletal contributions from the neck or jaw that may be linked to certain types of tinnitus.
• Neck Pain (Acute & Chronic): Addressing the underlying causes of your neck pain, helping to alleviate muscle tension, improve joint function, and prevent future recurrences.

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

In Quebec, 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, even if it's not legally necessary to see the Chiropraticien. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Essentially, chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropraticien will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropraticien will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are very well known for effectively treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of other neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, as well as headaches, and problems related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received in a hospital setting (which is extremely rare for chiropractic care) might be different, but for most private practice settings, coverage relies on private insurance. It is strongly recommended to verify your specific eligibility and coverage with RAMQ and your insurance provider.

Does Évolution Santé - Centre Chiropratique St-Jérôme offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Évolution Santé - Centre Chiropratique St-Jérôme offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance card and details, and to confirm their coverage with their insurer. Please note that patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
