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

In Quebec, the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not typically cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. However, care provided in hospital settings might be different, but this is rare for chiropractic care. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with RAMQ and check their private extended health plans for chiropractic benefits.

Do Chiropraticiens work with other healthcare professionals?

Yes, Chiropraticiens often believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. They frequently work with and refer to other healthcare professionals such as family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and specialists when it is in the best interest of their patients to ensure comprehensive and optimal care.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, 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 should check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care usually progresses through stages. First, the goal is to relieve pain (relief care). Next, the focus is on correcting the root cause and improving function (corrective care). Finally, some patients opt for maintenance or wellness care to sustain health and prevent future issues, similar to regular dental check-ups.

Is there parking available at or near Centre Chiropratique Charest?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on nearby streets, and paid parking is accessible in the public parkade located about one block east of the clinic.

Do chiropractors only treat back pain?

While chiropractors are well known for treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, headaches, and problems involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.
