- 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, so patients should check the specifics of their individual insurance policy.
- Is chiropractic care covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Coverage may differ if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is uncommon for chiropractic care. It is advisable to verify coverage details with RAMQ and consult private insurance providers.
- What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?
- When a Chiropraticien refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are describing a joint that isn't moving properly or is misaligned in a way that can affect nerve function and cause discomfort or other health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to address these specific joint problems.
- What are Clinique chiro Dr Robin Belanger d.c.'s operating hours?
- Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with some early morning or evening appointments available on select days. We may also offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and practitioner availability.
- What is that 'cracking' or 'popping' sound during an adjustment?
- The audible release sometimes heard during a chiropractic adjustment is simply the sound of gas being released from the joint capsule as it is gently stretched. It's perfectly normal and doesn't hurt. The important thing is the restoration of movement, not the sound.
- What should I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?
- The first chiropractic session involves assessment and understanding your needs. Dr. Bélanger will ask about your health background and perform physical tests to identify the cause of your problem. A tailored treatment plan will be developed, and treatment may begin during this first visit if appropriate.
