• Dr. Jason understands how frustrating recovering slowly after a nasty fall can be. By aiming for enjoying a noticeable reduction in neck stiffness and related tension, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like your regular exercise routine at home with renewed confidence.

Personalized care makes a real difference.

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's perfectly normal and doesn't hurt. The important thing is the restoration of movement, not the sound.

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 are responsible for payment or can use private insurance. Coverage may be available if the care is provided within a hospital setting, but this is rare for chiropractic care. Patients are advised to verify their specific coverage with RAMQ and their private insurance providers.

What is Dr. Jason L. Skolar, chiropraticien's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are very well known for effectively treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of other neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, as well as headaches, and problems related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.

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

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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Skolar, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Essentially, chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropraticien will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, allowing patients to book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
