- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of and behind our building, providing convenient access for all patients.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to verify the specifics of their insurance policies.
- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Yes, 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. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Bourgoin, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services performed in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may differ if care is provided in a hospital setting, which is extremely rare for chiropractic services. It is recommended that patients verify their individual coverage with RAMQ and their private insurance plans.
- Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists to ensure comprehensive and optimal care for their patients.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The audible release sometimes heard during a chiropractic adjustment is simply the sound of gas being released from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It is perfectly normal and does not hurt. The important thing is the restoration of movement, not the sound.
