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

In all provinces including Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can directly book an appointment without needing a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to review their individual insurance policies to understand the specific requirements.

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. Coverage may differ if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is uncommon. It is recommended to verify coverage details directly with RAMQ and consult private insurance providers for available benefits.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropraticien will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education includes comprehensive training in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, and biomechanics; clinical sciences including diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and differential diagnosis; and chiropractic-specific subjects like adjusting techniques and rehabilitation. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed practitioners.

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 as it should, which can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nearby nerves. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments to restore proper joint mobility and function.
