- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are considered primary contact healthcare professionals. This means that patients can book an appointment directly with Dr. Glen Doan without needing a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it's advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- What is Clinique Remix Santé'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.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The audible release sometimes heard during a chiropractic adjustment is simply the sound of gas being released from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It’s perfectly normal and doesn’t hurt. The important thing is the restoration of movement, not the sound.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. In rare cases where care is provided within a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is not common for standard chiropractic treatments. Always verify your coverage with your insurance provider or RAMQ directly.
- 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 is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- A Chiropraticien is a spine, muscle, and nervous system expert. They provide qualified, effective treatment to relieve pain and improve the way your body moves, without medication or surgery. Common techniques include manual 'hands-on' therapy, including adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercises, education, and lifestyle advice to help you achieve your health goals.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Generally, your care might involve an initial phase to provide relief from your acute symptoms. This is often followed by a rehabilitative phase to correct the underlying causes, improve function, and strengthen the affected areas. Finally, many patients opt for wellness or maintenance care, which involves periodic check-ups to help maintain their progress and prevent future problems, though this is always your choice.
