At Centre de Santé St-Rodrigue, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Mazières frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Patients often share how pressure headaches almost daily affected their ability to standing and walking comfortably while attending concerts and live events. With Dr. Frédéric's help and a focus on being able to sit for longer periods comfortably, whether for work or leisure, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
- If pain between my shoulder blades, like a stabbing feeling is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying running your usual 5k/10k route, know that effective chiropractic care can help. Dr. Frédéric focuses on achieving enhanced athletic performance due to improved biomechanics and reduced restrictions so you can engage in the things you love again.

By aiming for accomplishing physical goals they once thought were out of reach, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like playing a full round of golf without stiffness with renewed confidence.

- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be highly effective in managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Mazières, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you 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 is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy to confirm.
- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction in your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or joint problems—chiropractic care may be beneficial. An initial consultation with Dr. Cosman will include a thorough assessment to determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your condition or if other interventions might be more suitable.
- 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 are responsible for payment or can use private insurance. For seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), AHCIP provides limited coverage with a set number of visits or a maximum benefit amount per year. MSP offers partial coverage with a limited number of visits for eligible low-income individuals, often with a co-payment. OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics. It is important to verify your specific coverage with RAMQ or your private insurer. Always check your insurance plans for details, as many offer significant chiropractic benefits.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, chiropractors treat a wide range of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you experience pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle—from your jaw to your toes—a Chiropraticien like Dr. Cosman may be able to help improve your mobility and reduce discomfort.
