Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Yes, exercises and stretches are an integral part of many chiropractic treatment strategies. Your Chiropraticien will likely show you specific movements to do at home to help speed up your recovery, maintain your progress, and prevent the problem from returning.

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. Renaud, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals across all provinces in Canada, including Quebec. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should check the specifics of their insurance policy.

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

RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Care in a hospital setting is extremely rare and not common for chiropractic care. Patients are advised to verify their coverage with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for reimbursement options.

Does Centre de Santé Chiropratique Bois-des-Filion offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Centre de Santé Chiropratique Bois-des-Filion offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, and Green Shield. Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance card and confirm coverage details with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. The patient is responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
