- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care often progresses through a few general phases: 1. **Initial Intensive/Relief Care:** This phase focuses on reducing your immediate pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Visits may be more frequent during this stage. 2. **Corrective/Rehabilitative Care:** Once symptoms are under control, the focus shifts to correcting underlying joint dysfunction, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and restoring normal movement patterns. Visit frequency usually decreases. 3. **Wellness/Maintenance Care (Optional):** Some patients choose periodic visits to maintain their improvements, prevent recurrences, and support overall spinal health and well-being. Your Chiropraticien will discuss what's appropriate for your specific situation and goals.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are ideal for a chiropractic visit. Think of what you might wear for light exercise. This ensures you can move freely during assessments and that your Chiropraticien can access the areas requiring treatment without difficulty.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- In chiropractic, a 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also sometimes called a joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and other tissues, potentially leading to pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, or other symptoms. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Dr. Lindsey Paterson's services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care provided in hospital settings is extremely rare for chiropractic services and is not the standard scenario. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage and consult RAMQ directly for specific eligibility details.
- 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.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- 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 require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
- Is there parking available at or near Centre du mieux-être optimal?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, or paid parking options can be found in nearby parkades.
