Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Ross Jeske will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging studies are clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, to assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. The clinic always follows established diagnostic imaging guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

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 provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Occasionally, care received in hospital settings may be covered, but this is rare for chiropractic services. It is advisable to verify coverage details directly with RAMQ and consult your private insurance provider for reimbursement options.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.

Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, including infants. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns like posture, 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.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?

No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans might require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
