- 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. Some exceptions might exist for care received in hospital settings, but these are rare. It is advisable for patients to verify their specific coverage with RAMQ and check their private insurance plans for coverage details.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- A subluxation or joint restriction refers to a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving properly. This can cause pain, stiffness, and may interfere with nerve function. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through precise adjustments to restore proper movement and function.
- What are Neurodisk's operating hours?
- Neurodisk is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and 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 related to 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 supportive.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- No. Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, and patients can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to verify your insurance policy for specific requirements.
