- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. The techniques used are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants, where gentle musculoskeletal approaches may provide relief.
- What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?
- Chiropractic care often progresses through a few general phases: 1. Initial Intensive/Relief Care: This phase focuses on reducing your immediate pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Visits may be more frequent during this stage. 2. Corrective/Rehabilitative Care: Once symptoms are under control, the focus shifts to correcting underlying joint dysfunction, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and restoring normal movement patterns. Visit frequency usually decreases. 3. Wellness/Maintenance Care (Optional): Some patients choose periodic visits to maintain their improvements, prevent recurrences, and support overall spinal health and well-being. Your Chiropraticien will discuss what’s appropriate for your specific situation and goals.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In all provinces including Quebec, 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 still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, so it’s advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- 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 their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- 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.
- What are Chiropratique Brossard’s operating hours?
- Chiropratique Brossard is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- Chiropractic services performed in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Coverage may be available in certain hospital settings, but this is rare. It’s important to verify your private insurance plans and check with RAMQ for any updates or specific circumstances.
