Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques, along with specialized tables or pillows, to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Fika, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Does ABC Clinique Santé offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, ABC Clinique Santé offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, etc. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as coverage amounts and benefits vary. Patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

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. Some coverage may be available if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare. It is important to verify your private insurance coverage and consult with your insurer for details.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check the specifics of their insurance policies.

Is there parking available at or near ABC Clinique Santé?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and paid parking options are accessible in the vicinity.
