- 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 a '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.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. This means patients can book an appointment directly with Dr. Robin Dohlman 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 are advised to check the specifics of their insurance policy.
- 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 Dr. Robin Dohlman 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.
- 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 very rare for chiropractic care and is not the norm. Patients are encouraged to verify their private insurance coverage. For other provinces, coverage varies: AHCIP in Alberta provides limited coverage for seniors and dependents; MSP in British Columbia offers partial coverage for a set number of visits; Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic care in private clinics. It is recommended that patients check with their insurance providers for detailed coverage information.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropraticien, Dr. Robin Dohlman is trained to diagnose and treat many different conditions related to your spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis-related pain, and pain in your arms or legs.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns such as posture issues, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be helpful.
