- 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.
- Is there parking available at or near CCPN Chiro?
- 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 can be found in the public parkade located a short walk away. Limited free street parking may also be available in the vicinity.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Some care in hospital settings may differ, but this is rare for chiropractic services. Patients are advised to verify their private insurance coverage and consult RAMQ for specific questions.
- Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
- No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropraticien, they are trained to diagnose and treat many conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. This includes neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, arthritis, and limb pains.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy for specific requirements.
