Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Dr. Gurmukh Sahota always modifies techniques to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may be supportive.

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

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so 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, so it is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

A subluxation or joint restriction refers to a joint that is 'stuck' or not moving as it should. This can cause pain, stiffness, and interfere with nearby nerves. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through adjustments.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in hospitals is rare and usually different from standard chiropractic care. Always verify your coverage with your insurance provider or RAMQ.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care generally involves an initial relief phase for acute symptoms, followed by a rehabilitative phase to address underlying causes and improve function. Many patients then choose wellness or maintenance care, involving periodic check-ups to sustain progress and prevent future issues. This phase is always tailored to the patient's needs and preferences.
