- Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
- Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Gauvin, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- 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. Dr. Gauvin will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?
- X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Gauvin will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if X-rays or other imaging studies are clinically necessary. Imaging is typically recommended to rule out more serious conditions like fractures or pathology, to assess for significant spinal degeneration or instability, or if a patient's condition is not improving as expected with conservative care. All imaging procedures are performed following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.
- What is Centre chiropratique de la Pinière'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.
- Is there parking available at or near Centre chiropratique de la Pinière?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building.
- 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 use private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is rare for chiropractic care. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with their private insurance plans and consult RAMQ for specific eligibility details.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors, including Dr. Gauvin, are primary healthcare professionals in Quebec, allowing patients to book appointments directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement. Patients should check their individual policy requirements.
