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

In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it's rarely painful. If your muscles are very tight or joints are inflamed, you might feel some temporary soreness afterwards, but your Chiropraticien will discuss this with you and tailor the force and technique to your needs.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may differ if care occurs within a hospital setting, but this is uncommon for chiropractic care. Always verify your insurance coverage for specific details.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core part of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercises 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.
