At Santé Chiropratique, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Falquet frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Getting back to playing your guitar/piano/drums/violin for extended practice sessions after struggling with weak ankles that seem to twist easily is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Nolwenn's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to a greater sense of control over their symptoms and physical well-being and a return to a more active life.
• Dr. Nolwenn understands how frustrating feeling like my lower back is locked up can be. By aiming for experiencing fewer and less intense muscle spasms, chiropractic care can empower you to return to activities like going up and down stairs effortlessly with renewed confidence.
• Patients often share how my kid's neck being stuck to one side (torticollis) affected their ability to leisurely walking around the mall or large shopping centers for hours. With Dr. Nolwenn's help and a focus on being able to actively keep up with their children or grandchildren, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.
• Experience the significant benefit of walking with ease, free from sharp radiating leg pain if you're dealing with my jaw feeling 'off track'. Dr. Nolwenn helps patients regain their ability to fully participate in activities like smoothly getting in and out of the car without wincing or needing to brace myself through focused and gentle chiropractic treatments.

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

In 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your individual insurance policy to understand any requirements.

What is Santé Chiropratique's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that life happens! However, to ensure we can accommodate all our patients, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. Appointments missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?

We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.

Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and often use modified adjustment techniques along with specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Wee, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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

A 'vertebral subluxation' or 'joint restriction' (also sometimes called a joint dysfunction) refers to a spinal or extremity joint that has lost its normal position or motion. This can irritate surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, potentially leading to pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, or other symptoms. The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct these restrictions and restore proper joint function.

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 in Quebec. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Care received in hospital settings is extremely rare for chiropractic care and generally not covered in typical private practice. It is important to verify your individual coverage with RAMQ and your private insurer.

Does Santé Chiropratique offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Santé Chiropratique offers direct billing to most major private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and confirm their coverage with their insurer, as plans and reimbursement amounts vary. Patients remain responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their insurance plan.
