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

In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. This allows for timely and convenient access to chiropractic care. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be a comfortable procedure. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function. While there might be a brief moment of pressure, it’s rarely painful. If your muscles are very tight or joints are inflamed, you might feel some temporary soreness afterwards. Dr. Yates will discuss this with you and tailor the force and technique to your needs to ensure your comfort.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Dr. Yates frequently works with and refers 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. This collaboration ensures comprehensive and optimal care for every individual.

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 use private insurance. There may be rare exceptions if care is provided within a hospital setting, but for most private practice scenarios, coverage depends on individual insurance plans. It is recommended to verify your specific eligibility and coverage with RAMQ and your private insurer.

Is there parking available at or near Centre Kiro Spécifik - Kiro Sciences inc?

Yes, free patient parking is usually available directly in front of or behind the building. Limited street parking may also be available nearby, and there are paid parking options in the vicinity if needed.
