Can children and babies receive chiropractic care?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and can be highly beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Techniques are always modified to be extremely gentle and appropriate for a child's specific age, size, and developmental stage. Many parents 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 may be supportive.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance plans. In some cases, care received within a hospital setting might be covered, but this is rare for chiropractic services. For residents of Quebec, it is important to verify coverage with private insurers and always review individual extended health benefit plans.

Do chiropractors provide exercises or stretches?

Definitely. While adjustments are central to chiropractic care, most Chiropraticiens incorporate rehabilitative exercises and stretches into their treatment plans. These help support the effects of adjustments, correct muscle imbalances, and empower patients to manage their health proactively.

What does a chiropractor mean by a 'subluxation' or 'joint restriction'?

When a Chiropraticien refers to a subluxation or joint restriction, they are typically 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.

Is there parking available at or near Chiro St-Bruno?

Yes, there is free patient parking available directly in front of or behind our building. Metered street parking is also available on nearby streets, and paid parking options are accessible in the public parkade located a short distance from the clinic.

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

Chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals in Quebec, meaning you can book your appointment directly without a referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider regarding their specific requirements.

What is chiropractic care and how can it help me?

Chiropractic care helps your body move and function better. Your Chiropraticien will assess your spine and other joints for restrictions or misalignments that might be causing pain or affecting your nervous system. Through precise adjustments and other treatments, they aim to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and support your overall health so you can enjoy a more active, pain-free life.
