Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific 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 supportive.

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

No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropraticien will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.

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

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. In rare cases, care received in a hospital setting might be covered, but this is uncommon for chiropractic services. Patients are encouraged to verify their coverage with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for reimbursement options.

What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?

The sound heard during a chiropractic adjustment is the release of gas from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It is perfectly normal and does not hurt. The primary goal of the adjustment is to restore movement and function, not the sound itself.
