- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- A Chiropraticien is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct the underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 (which is very rare for chiropractic) might differ, but this is not the usual scenario. Patients are encouraged to verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services. For those covered by private insurance, many plans offer substantial benefits, so it's advisable to check with your provider.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- 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 require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It's recommended to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.
- 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—especially issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows Dr. Schulz to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine whether chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition or if another approach might be more appropriate.
