What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction&#x;?

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.

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. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their insurance policy.

Is there parking available at or near Clinique Solution Santé Chiropratique Inc.?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also available nearby on surrounding streets. Limited paid parking may be found in the nearby public parkade.

Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services 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 uncommon for private chiropractic care. Patients should verify their coverage with RAMQ and their private insurance plans.

What is Clinique Solution Santé Chiropratique Inc.'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.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

It’s a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with back problems. In reality, we treat a broad array of conditions affecting the body’s structure and function. If you have pain or dysfunction in any joint or muscle, from your jaw to your toes, a Chiropraticien may be able to help.
