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

In Quebec, chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals. This means that patients can directly book an appointment with Dr. Jessica Sidhu without requiring 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 verify the specifics of their insurance policy to understand coverage requirements.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care provided within a hospital setting might be different, but this is uncommon for chiropractic treatments. Patients should always verify their private insurance coverage and check for any exceptions or specific programs.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

For your first visit, expect about an hour, which includes a comprehensive assessment. Follow-up treatments are generally shorter, often between 15 to 20 minutes. Dr. Sidhu will advise on the appropriate duration based on your individual needs.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, potentially causing pain, inflammation, or reduced mobility. Chiropractic adjustments aim to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques along with specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Pitre, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
