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

In Quebec, chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning 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 patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and examination. Dr. Sieben will discuss your detailed health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This is followed by a comprehensive physical assessment, which may include postural analysis, spinal assessment, range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, Dr. Sieben will discuss a diagnosis or clinical impression and suggest a personalized treatment plan. Some treatments or advice may be provided during this initial visit, if appropriate.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are a core component of chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens also incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans. These help support the effects of adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their condition effectively.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care delivered in hospital settings is extremely rare for chiropractic care and may be different. It's important for patients to verify their private insurance plans and coverage details. For other provinces, coverage varies: Alberta's AHCIP provides limited coverage for seniors and dependents, BC’s MSP offers partial coverage for a limited number of visits, Ontario's OHIP generally does not cover chiropractic services in private clinics, and Quebec relies on private insurance as RAMQ does not cover chiropractic care in private settings. Patients are advised to check their specific eligibility and coverage directly with their insurance providers.

What is Centre chiropratique Santé Plus's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

It's a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with back problems. In reality, we treat a broad array of conditions affecting the body's structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle, from your jaw to your toes, a Chiropraticien may be able to help.

Is there parking available at or near Centre chiropratique Santé Plus?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking is accessible in the public parkade located one block east of our clinic. Limited free street parking may also be available in the vicinity.
