- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are considered 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 insurance policy to confirm their requirements.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- It’s best to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows for ease of movement. Athletic wear, leggings, comfortable pants, and a t-shirt are generally suitable. This enables Dr. Landry to easily assess your posture and movement, and perform any necessary examinations or treatments. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain parts of the examination if needed.
- 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 through private insurance. If care is received in a hospital setting, coverage may differ, but this is rare for chiropractic services. It is important to verify your coverage with RAMQ and your private insurance plans, as many offer significant chiropractic benefits.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The sound is caused by joint cavitation, which occurs when a joint is gently gapped during an adjustment, releasing dissolved gases in the joint fluid and creating a bubble that quickly collapses. This is a common, harmless phenomenon and many effective adjustments occur without any sound at all.
- Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?
- Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for each child's age, size, and developmental stage. Parents often seek chiropractic care for concerns related to posture, after minor falls or sports-related tumbles, to support overall spinal health during growth spurts, or for issues like colic or feeding difficulties in infants where gentle musculoskeletal approaches can be supportive.
