- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. James Motyer to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate or if another approach might better suit your condition.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason for visiting a Chiropraticien, they are trained to diagnose and treat many conditions involving the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis pain, and limb discomfort.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Plan for about an hour for the initial visit, which includes a full assessment. Follow-up treatments are typically shorter, around 15 to 20 minutes. Dr. James Motyer will advise on the appropriate duration based on your needs.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. In rare cases, services received in a hospital setting may be covered, but this is not common. It is advisable to verify your coverage directly with RAMQ and your private insurer.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your individual insurance policy.

- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking is also available nearby, and paid parking can be found in the public parkade located one block east of our clinic.
