- 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.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- A subluxation or joint restriction is a term used to describe a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with the nerves that pass nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- It is important to verify coverage directly with RAMQ or your private insurance provider. In Quebec, RAMQ does not generally cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Coverage may vary, so it is advisable to confirm your individual eligibility and benefits with your insurer.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Kyle McLeod will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is clinically necessary. Imaging is usually recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, or if the patient's condition does not improve as expected, always following diagnostic guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. 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.
