At ABC Clinique Santé Gatineau, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Coovi-Sirois frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Experience the significant benefit of relying less on pain medication and more on their body's natural healing if you're dealing with fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, and body-wide tenderness. Dr. Guillaume helps patients regain their ability to fully participate in activities like getting in and out of the car without wincing through focused and gentle chiropractic treatments.
- Getting back to CrossFit workouts after struggling with pubic bone pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction) is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Guillaume's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to moving more freely and easily throughout their entire body and a return to a more active life.
- Dr. Guillaume frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by weak ankles that seem to twist easily. The common goal is feeling a significant release of chronic tension and stress held in their body, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, losing myself for hours painting or sculpting in your art studio, with greater comfort and ease.
- Dr. Guillaume understands how frustrating a rib feeling like it's out of place can be. By aiming for improved coordination for both simple and complex tasks, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like working productively and comfortably at your standing desk all day with renewed confidence.

- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients 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, even if it's not legally necessary to see the Chiropraticien. Patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.
- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- During your initial chiropractic appointment, Dr. Aaron D'Amico will take the time to understand your health concerns through a detailed conversation about your medical history and symptoms. This is followed by a physical examination focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. After assessing your condition, he will explain the findings, answer your questions, and outline a recommended course of care. You may receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- RAMQ generally does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients are responsible for paying out-of-pocket or using private insurance. Coverage may differ if care is received in a hospital setting, which is extremely rare for chiropractic treatment. It is advisable to verify coverage and benefits directly with RAMQ and consult private insurance providers for detailed information.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors, including Dr. Aaron D'Amico, are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Aaron D'Amico, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it is rarely painful. If muscles are very tight or joints inflamed, you might feel some temporary soreness afterward. Dr. Aaron D'Amico will tailor the force and technique to your needs to ensure your comfort.
