- 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 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.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services in private clinics are generally not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may vary, but this is rare for typical chiropractic care. It's important to verify your coverage with RAMQ and check your private insurance plans, as many offer chiropractic benefits.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- When a Chiropraticien refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning you can 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's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
