- What is Centre de Correction Vertebrale de Québec'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 chiropractors only treat back pain?
- While chiropractors are very well known for effectively treating back pain, their expertise extends to a wide range of other neuromusculoskeletal conditions affecting the entire body. This includes issues with the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, as well as headaches, and problems related to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves throughout the extremities.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropraticien in QC?
- In Quebec, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, allowing patients to 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. Patients are advised to 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 cover chiropractic services performed in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance to cover these services. Care received in a hospital setting is extremely rare and not typical for chiropractic care. Patients should verify their coverage with their private insurance providers and RAMQ if applicable.
- What kind of clothing should I wear to my chiropractic appointment?
- We recommend wearing clothing that you can move comfortably in, such as gym attire or loose pants and a top. This helps with the physical examination and any active components of your treatment.
- 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. Chiropraticiens are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Takeuchi, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
- 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.
