- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The first chiropractic session is primarily about assessment and understanding your needs. Your Chiropraticien will ask about your health background and perform various physical tests. The aim is to identify the cause of your problem so a tailored treatment plan can be created with you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and if indicated, treatment may begin on this first visit.
- 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 good choices. This allows your Chiropraticien to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any 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?
- Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not typically cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Coverage may be available if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare. Patients are advised to verify their coverage directly with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for benefits.
- What are ABC clinique sané's operating hours?
- ABC clinique sané 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 at (555) 123-4567 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 are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their insurance policy for specific requirements.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Easterling will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or significant spinal degeneration, especially if the patient's condition is not improving with conservative care.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- A subluxation or joint restriction is a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nerve function. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.
