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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some exceptions may exist if care is received in hospital settings, but this is not common. It is advisable to verify coverage details directly with RAMQ and review your private insurance plans, as many offer significant chiropractic coverage.

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.

What are Espace Santé Chiropratique's operating hours?

Espace Santé Chiropratique is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. Saturday appointments may be available from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call the clinic or visit our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.

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 nerve function. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these dysfunctions through specific adjustments.

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

Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider for specific requirements.

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

Canadian chiropractors complete a rigorous post-secondary education, earning a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. This involves at least three years of undergraduate studies followed by four years of specialized training at an accredited chiropractic college. Their education covers anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis, adjusting techniques, and rehabilitation. Graduates must pass national and provincial licensing exams to practice legally.
