- 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, along with specialized tables or pillows, to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Desbiens, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- We often think of care in stages. First, we want to get you out of pain (relief care). Then, we work on fixing the root cause of the problem and improving your body's function (corrective care). Afterward, some individuals opt for periodic check-ups to maintain optimal health (maintenance or wellness care), similar to regular dental cleanings to preserve oral health.
- 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 plans. Coverage may vary if care is provided within a hospital setting, but this is rare for chiropractic services. Patients are advised to verify their individual coverage directly with RAMQ and to review their private extended health plans for chiropractic benefits.
- 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 the specifics of their insurance policies.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment plans. Your Chiropraticien will often demonstrate specific movements to do at home to facilitate recovery, maintain progress, and prevent future issues.

- Yes, there is typically free patient parking available directly in front of or behind the clinic. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking options are accessible in the public parkade located within a short walking distance from the clinic.
