• Getting back to getting in and out of the car without wincing after struggling with pain when twisting my back to reach for something is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Élizabeth's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to experiencing significant relief from nagging lower back pain and a return to a more active life.
• Dr. Élizabeth frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by painful elbow joint. The common goal is enjoying a noticeable reduction in neck stiffness and related tension, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, binge-watching your favorite TV shows or movies without getting stiff and sore, with greater comfort and ease.

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?

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. Patients are advised to verify the specifics of their individual insurance policies.

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

Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not generally 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 and not the norm for chiropractic care. Patients are encouraged to check their private insurance plans for coverage details.

What are Clinique Chiro Santé's operating hours?

Clinique Chiro Santé is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We 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 our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
