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.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercise and stretching into their treatment plans. These are designed to support the effects of your adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower you to manage your condition effectively.

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

In Quebec, chiropractic services performed in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may vary if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is uncommon. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance plans and consult RAMQ for specific details.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

During your initial chiropractic appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns. Expect a detailed conversation about your medical history and symptoms, followed by a physical exam focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. After the assessment, your Chiropraticien 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.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
