At Chiro impact, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Hébert frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• If worried about my child's posture is impacting your daily life and preventing you from enjoying crafting and sewing for extended periods, know that effective chiropractic care can help. Dr. Guillaume focuses on achieving feeling lasting relief from chronic shoulder discomfort and clicking so you can engage in the things you love again.
• Getting back to fishing or hunting trips after struggling with recovering from a work-related back/neck injury is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Guillaume's clinic.

• Dr. Guillaume frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by pinching feeling deep inside my shoulder.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropraticien will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.

What are Chiro impact's operating hours?

Chiro impact 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.

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

Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a medical referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally recommended. This helps Dr. Hébert assess your posture and perform necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.

Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in a hospital setting is extremely rare and not typical for chiropractic care. It is important to verify your coverage with your insurance provider or RAMQ directly. Patients are encouraged to review their private insurance plans, as many offer significant chiropractic coverage.

Is there parking available at or near Chiro impact?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby in the surrounding streets or in a public parkade a short walk away.
