At Vert L'espace Chiropratique, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Bowerman frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Dr. Élodie frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by numbness and tingling in my hands, especially at night. The common goal is feeling less 'locked up' or stiff after periods of sitting or inactivity, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, taking on ambitious home renovation and DIY projects with confidence, with greater comfort and ease.
- Imagine being able to lifting your toddler without back pain without heel spur pain making it hard to stand holding you back. Dr. Élodie works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as feeling empowered with the knowledge and tools to maintain their spinal health, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.
- If repetitive strain injury in my arm/wrist is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying home renovation and DIY projects, know that effective chiropractic care can help. Dr. Élodie focuses on achieving a better understanding of their condition and effective self-care strategies so you can engage in the things you love again.
- Getting back to tackling challenging long hikes in the mountains on weekends with friends after struggling with coccyx pain after a fall is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Élodie's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to seeing their child appear more comfortable, settled, and mobile and a return to a more active life.

- 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, so it's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- 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.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and getting your body functioning better (corrective care). After that, some people choose to come in for occasional check-ups to keep things working well (maintenance or wellness care), similar to how you'd see a dentist for regular cleanings.
- 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. Care received in a hospital setting is extremely rare and not the usual scenario. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage and any applicable benefits.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- A subluxation or joint restriction is a term used to describe a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with the nerves that pass nearby. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.
