Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

An adjustment itself is typically not painful. You might hear a 'pop' or 'crack', which is just gas being released from the joint, not bones cracking. Some people feel a bit sore the next day, like after a workout, but this is usually mild and temporary. Your Chiropraticien will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

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 performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Coverage may differ if care is provided in a hospital setting, which is rare for chiropractic treatment. Patients are advised to verify their individual coverage with their insurance providers and to check their private insurance plans for chiropractic coverage.

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

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check with your insurer regarding specific requirements.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.
