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.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. It is important to verify your specific coverage with RAMQ and your insurance provider, as many private plans do offer substantial chiropractic coverage.

What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?

Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes extensive training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and chiropractic-specific techniques, complemented by clinical internships. Graduates must pass national and provincial exams to become licensed practitioners.

What is Dre Marie-Pier Coll Chiropraticienne'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 I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?

Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a medical referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or improved movement. Some may feel mild, temporary soreness, similar to after starting a new exercise. Your Chiropraticien will communicate with you throughout treatment and tailor techniques to your comfort. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
