At Centre chiropratique nouvelle santé, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Lanteigne frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- For those whose a stiff and sore neck has made simply being able to sit on the floor to play with your children/pets a challenge, Dr. Nicole offers a path towards a quicker and more complete recovery from sports-related injuries. Chiropractic care can be instrumental in helping you rediscover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle.
- Getting back to losing myself for hours painting or sculpting in your art studio after struggling with painful ribs when breathing deep or twisting is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Nicole's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to improved ability to perform everyday tasks with greater ease and comfort and a return to a more active life.
- Dr. Nicole frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by a rib feeling like it's out of place. The common goal is being able to lift everyday objects without the fear of pain or re-injury, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, your weekly soccer league game, with greater comfort and ease.
- Overcoming parts of my hand/foot falling asleep to achieve feeling more aligned and balanced in their posture and resume safely lifting and carrying heavy items at work or around the house is a common success story at Dr. Nicole's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.
Your personalized chiropractic care plan, developed with Dr. Lanteigne, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?
- Essentially, chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropraticien will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is rare. It is advisable to verify coverage directly with RAMQ and check your private health insurance plans, as many offer substantial chiropractic benefits.
- What are Centre chiropratique nouvelle santé's operating hours?
- Centre chiropratique nouvelle santé 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 treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropraticien will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals. 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. It is recommended to check your individual insurance policy for specific requirements.
- Is there parking available at or near Centre chiropratique nouvelle santé?
- Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also available on nearby streets, and paid parking options include a public parkade located one block east of our clinic. Limited free street parking may also be found in the vicinity.
