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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. However, in hospital settings, coverage may differ, but such cases are rare for chiropractic care. It is advisable for patients to verify their specific coverage details directly with RAMQ and consult their private extended health insurance plans, as many offer significant chiropractic coverage.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropraticien will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

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 from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

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.
