- Overcoming general muscle aches and stiffness all over my body to achieve being able to sit for longer periods comfortably, whether for work or leisure and resume engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting projects for longer periods is a common success story at Dr. Colain's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.

With Dr. Colain's help and a focus on getting back to work feeling more comfortable and productive, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.

- 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, so patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policies.
- Is there parking available at or near our clinic?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the clinic. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and additional paid parking options are accessible in the vicinity.
- What is our clinic's appointment cancellation policy?
- We understand that life happens! However, to accommodate all patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for each child's age, 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 musculoskeletal approaches can be supportive.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretching into their treatment plans. These support the effects of adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their condition effectively.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services performed in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some limited exceptions may exist if care is provided within a hospital setting, but this is rare for private practice. It is advisable to verify coverage with your insurance provider and consult RAMQ for specific eligibility details.
