How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. We encourage you to schedule an initial consultation where Dr. Lacroix-Leung can perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment suits your needs or if another approach might be more appropriate.

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

In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so you 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care typically involves stages. First, the goal is to relieve pain (relief care). Then, the focus shifts to correcting the underlying issue and improving function (corrective care). Finally, some patients opt for maintenance or wellness care to sustain health, similar to regular dental check-ups.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They 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 the patient 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 performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Some exceptions exist if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare. It is recommended to verify coverage with your private insurer and check your insurance plan for details.
