- Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?
- Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. We 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 our patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.
- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- Your first visit typically involves a thorough consultation and examination. Your Chiropraticien will discuss your detailed health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This is followed by a comprehensive physical examination which may include postural analysis, spinal assessment, range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, and neurological screenings. Based on these findings, your Chiropraticien will discuss a diagnosis (or clinical impression) and propose a personalized treatment plan. Often, some form of treatment or advice is provided during this initial session, if appropriate.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractic services performed in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Patients generally pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care received in hospital settings is rare and may be different. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage for chiropractic services.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- That sound is a common and usually harmless phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is gapped during an adjustment, the pressure inside the joint decreases, allowing dissolved gases in the joint fluid to form a bubble, which then quickly collapses, creating the 'pop'. It doesn’t mean bones are cracking, and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, so patients can book an appointment directly without a referral in Quebec. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a medical referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
