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, but your Chiropraticien will discuss this with you and tailor the force and technique to your needs.

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

In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor’s referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy to confirm coverage.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

When a Chiropraticien refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and lead to discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.

How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?

Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropraticien will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

During your initial chiropractic appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns. Expect a detailed conversation about your medical history and symptoms, followed by a physical exam focusing on your spine, posture, and movement. After the assessment, your Chiropraticien will explain the findings, answer your questions, and outline a recommended course of care. You may receive your first adjustment or other therapies during this visit.

Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Chiropractic services are generally not covered by RAMQ in Quebec when provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. In rare cases, care in hospital settings might differ, but this is not common for private practice. It is recommended to verify coverage with your private insurer and consult RAMQ for specific questions regarding eligibility.
