- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly with a Chiropraticien without needing a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
- Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Common reasons parents seek chiropractic care for their children include 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 may be helpful.
- 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 through private insurance. Care received in a hospital setting is extremely rare for chiropractic care and is not the standard. It is important for patients to verify their coverage with private insurers and check their eligibility directly with RAMQ if applicable.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- The first appointment generally lasts about an hour, including a full assessment. Follow-up visits are typically shorter, around 15 to 20 minutes, with the Chiropraticien advising on the appropriate duration based on your specific needs.
- Is there parking available at or near Clinique Chiropratique Boisvert et Therrien?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the clinic. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking options may include nearby public parkades for added convenience.
