At Centre chiropratique des Îles, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Rosen frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• For those whose limited mobility in my [back/neck/shoulder/hip/knee] has made taking the stairs instead of the elevator a challenge, Dr. Rosen offers a path towards maintaining their independence and an active lifestyle as they age. Chiropractic care can be instrumental in helping you rediscover the joy of movement and an active lifestyle.
• Imagine being able to enjoy therapeutic horseback riding sessions without vertigo making the room spin when I lie down or get up holding you back. Dr. Rosen works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as improved nerve function, leading to less tingling, numbness, or weakness, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.
• Getting back to spending quality time working on your car or motorcycle in the garage after struggling with hip pain when walking long distances or climbing stairs is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Rosen's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to turning their head fully and comfortably again, making driving and daily tasks easier and a return to a more active life.
• Patients often share how really bad low back pain affected their ability to safely lift and carry heavy items at work or around the house. With Dr. Rosen's help and a focus on a noticeable reduction in daily aches, allowing for more comfortable days, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.

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

In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, which means 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 insurance policy to understand any requirements.

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 through private insurance. Coverage may be available if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare for chiropractic services. It is important to verify your private insurance coverage for chiropractic care.

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, which often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women, using modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Rosen, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

No, not at all! Although back pain is a common reason people visit a Chiropraticien, Dr. Rosen is 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-related pain, and pain in the arms or legs.
