At Clinique Chiropratique St-Augustin, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Morin frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Many individuals visit Dr. Sonia because they are tired of dealing with that nagging ache in my lower back. Through a personalized chiropractic care plan, they often find they can achieve improved core stability, leading to better support for their spine and reduced strain and get back to enjoying important activities like choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator, just because you can.
- Dr. Sonia frequently helps people find solutions for the limitations imposed by a frozen shoulder limiting my movement severely. The common goal is feeling more balanced and secure on their feet, reducing the risk of falls, enabling a confident return to valued life activities, for instance, diving and spiking in our weekly volleyball games with friends, with greater comfort and ease.
- Experience the significant benefit of living with significantly less pain and greater freedom of movement if you're dealing with constant mid-back tension behind my ribs. Dr. Sonia helps patients regain their ability to fully participate in activities like going on peaceful fishing or challenging hunting trips through focused and gentle chiropractic treatments.
- Getting back to crushing your CrossFit WODs (Workout of the Day) again after struggling with problems with a disc in my back/neck is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Sonia's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to improved coordination for both simple and complex tasks and a return to a more active life.

- Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?
- Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients experience immediate relief or a sense of improved movement. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary soreness or aching, similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise, especially if the area being treated was already inflamed or very stiff. Your Chiropraticien will communicate with you throughout the treatment and use techniques appropriate for your comfort level. Any discomfort usually subsides quickly, often within 24 hours.
- 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 provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. Some exceptions may exist if the care is received in hospital settings, but this is rare for chiropractic treatments. It is advisable to verify coverage with your private insurer or health plan. Patients are encouraged to check their individual insurance policies for specific coverage details, as many extended health plans do provide some reimbursement for chiropractic care.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- No, in Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, and patients can book appointments directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check their insurance policies to confirm any requirements.
- How long do chiropractic appointments usually last?
- Plan for about an hour for your first chiropractic visit, which includes a full assessment. Regular treatment sessions are generally more focused and shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. Your Chiropraticien will advise on the appropriate time needed for your care.
- Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?
- Yes, absolutely. Therapeutic exercises, stretches, and postural advice are often a key component of a comprehensive chiropractic care plan. Your Chiropraticien may prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition to help improve strength, flexibility, stability, restore proper movement patterns, and promote long-term recovery and injury prevention.
