- How can I tell if chiropractic care is right for me?
- If you're experiencing pain, stiffness, or dysfunction related to your spine, muscles, joints, or nerves—particularly issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, or extremity joint problems—chiropractic care may be very beneficial. Scheduling an initial consultation allows the Chiropraticien to perform a thorough assessment, discuss your health goals, and determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable or if another approach might be more appropriate for your specific condition.
- 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 that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Lavoie, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- What is Clinique Chiropratique de Charlevoix'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 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. It is advisable to check the specifics of your insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. For seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), AHCIP provides limited coverage, often with a co-payment. Most adults do not have coverage through RAMQ, so verifying your private insurance benefits is recommended. Always check your current coverage details with RAMQ and your insurance provider.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- The initial consultation with a Chiropraticien typically lasts about an hour, including history-taking and examination. Follow-up visits where adjustments and therapies are performed generally take 15-20 minutes, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
