- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy to understand any requirements.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- This sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn't mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- The first visit to a Chiropraticien involves a detailed history and examination and can take around an hour. Follow-up appointments where adjustments and other therapies are performed are typically 15-20 minutes. The exact duration will depend on your personalized treatment plan.
- 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. Dr. Wilson will ensure you are as comfortable as possible during your treatments.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is rare for chiropractic care. It is important to verify your insurance coverage and private plan details to understand your benefits.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be very beneficial for children of all ages, including infants and teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often 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 beneficial.
- Is there parking available at or near Centre chiropratique Ste-Foy?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the building, making it easy and convenient for patients to access their appointments without concern for parking fees.
