For active infections, TCM aims to accelerate recovery by expelling pathogens (Wind, Cold, Heat, Damp), relieving symptoms like fever, chills, sore throat, cough, body aches, and fatigue.

Are Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine services covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Acupuncture and TCM services provided by a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) or Registered TCM Practitioner (R.TCMP) in a private clinic are generally NOT covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for these services. It is strongly recommended to check with your private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer varying levels of coverage for services rendered by registered practitioners.

Does acupuncture hurt? Are the needles safe?

For most people, acupuncture is not painful. The needles used are very thin, and many individuals feel little to no sensation upon insertion. Common sensations include a slight pinch, followed by a dull ache, warmth, tingling, or a feeling of fullness around the needle site, which usually indicates effective stimulation of your body's Qi. Many patients report feeling very relaxed and may even fall asleep during the session. Practitioners are highly trained in safe needling techniques and use sterile, single-use needles to ensure safety and prevent infection. If you experience any notable pain, inform your acupuncturist immediately.

What are Qi and Meridians in TCM?

**Qi** is a vital energy or life force that flows through the body via channels called meridians. When Qi flows smoothly and abundantly, health is maintained. Blockages or deficiencies in Qi can lead to illness or pain. Meridians are like rivers or pathways that carry Qi and Blood, connecting organs and tissues. Acupuncture aims to restore proper Qi flow within these meridians to promote balance and healing.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and how can a Registered Acupuncturist help?

TCM is a holistic health system based on ancient Chinese principles. A Registered Acupuncturist evaluates your overall health, identifying patterns of imbalance through diagnostic tools like tongue and pulse assessment. Treatment may include acupuncture, herbal formulas, cupping, moxibustion, and lifestyle recommendations to restore harmony and support your body’s natural healing processes.

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

In Quebec, patients can typically consult a Registered Acupuncturist or Registered TCM Practitioner directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so it’s advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand.

What is Acupuncture and how can it help me?

Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. Performed by a qualified practitioner, it can help manage pain, reduce stress, improve sleep, support digestion, and address various health concerns by activating your body's own healing mechanisms.
