What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily the spine, and their effects on overall health. Chiropraticiens use hands-on spinal manipulation (adjustments) and other manual therapies, as well as exercise, and lifestyle counseling, to relieve pain, restore function, and support your body's natural ability to heal. It can help with issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems in your arms or legs.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is rare for typical chiropractic treatments. It’s important to check your private insurance plan for coverage details. For residents of other provinces, coverage varies, with some offering limited benefits for seniors and dependents. Always verify your specific coverage with your insurance provider.

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

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. 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. It’s advisable to check your individual insurance policy for specifics.

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. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure safety and comfort. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Keleny, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropraticien, they are trained to diagnose and treat many conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and pain in your arms or legs.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.

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.
