Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

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

In Quebec, RAMQ does not typically cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or use private insurance. Coverage may be available if care is received in a hospital setting, but this is rare. It is recommended that patients verify their specific coverage with RAMQ and consult their private insurance plans for possible reimbursement options.

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, making it convenient for patients visiting the clinic.

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 often use modified adjustment techniques, specialized tables, or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Chehimi, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.

What is Chiro St-Bruno'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.

What are the typical phases of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care often progresses through a few general phases: 1. **Initial Intensive/Relief Care:** This phase focuses on reducing your immediate pain, inflammation, and discomfort. Visits may be more frequent during this stage. 2. **Corrective/Rehabilitative Care:** Once symptoms are under control, the focus shifts to correcting underlying joint dysfunction, improving muscle strength and flexibility, and restoring normal movement patterns. Visit frequency usually decreases. 3. **Wellness/Maintenance Care (Optional):** Some patients choose periodic visits to maintain their improvements, prevent recurrences, and support overall spinal health and well-being. Your Chiropraticien will discuss what's appropriate for your specific situation and goals.

What are Chiro St-Bruno'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.

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

Chiropractors in Quebec are primary contact healthcare professionals, so a referral from a medical doctor is not required to book an appointment. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific requirements.
