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.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

It's best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally good choices. This allows your Chiropraticien to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning you 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 it is advisable to check your individual policy.

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.

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

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. In rare cases, care received in a hospital setting might be covered, but this is uncommon for standard chiropractic treatments. It is recommended to verify your coverage with your private insurer and consult with your provider for specific details.
