Chiropractic care

The vast majority of patients tolerate chiropractic adjustments very well. The manipulations are adapted to your condition, your body type, and your comfort level. Slight soreness may be felt in the hours following treatment, similar to that after physical exercise. Your chiropractor explains each step and adapts the techniques according to your needs.

This varies depending on the condition, its duration, and its severity. For recent acute pain, improvement can be felt from the first few sessions. Chronic or postural pain generally requires several weeks of treatment. Your chiropractor will establish a personalized treatment plan from the very first consultation, with clear and measurable goals.

Sciatica is pain that radiates from the lower back down to the buttock and leg, often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve (herniated disc, stenosis, muscle strain). Chiropractic care can reduce this compression through spinal adjustments, mobilizations, and muscle therapies, decreasing pain and improving mobility. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

Yes. Postural analysis is an integral part of a chiropractic evaluation. Postural imbalances (forward head posture, rounded shoulders, excessive lumbar lordosis) lead to muscle tension and chronic pain. Adjustments, combined with strengthening exercises and ergonomic advice, help to gradually correct these imbalances and reduce associated pain.

Yes, for several reasons: reviewing symptoms and progression, analyzing imaging exams, adjusting therapeutic exercises, ergonomic advice for the workstation, and managing relapses. Teleconsultation complements in-clinic sessions and allows for continuous follow-up without travel for stable situations that do not require a physical examination.

Chiropractic focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system, primarily through spinal and joint adjustments. Physical therapy targets functional rehabilitation with exercises, electrotherapy, and manual techniques. Osteopathy takes a holistic approach to the musculo-fascial structures. These disciplines are complementary, and our teams often work collaboratively to optimize outcomes.

Yes, subject to a suitable prior evaluation. The techniques are adjusted for elderly patients: gentle mobilizations, reduced pressures, work on joint mobility and stability. Chiropractic care can help maintain joint function, reduce chronic pain, and improve balance in seniors. Contraindications (severe osteoporosis, fracture) are systematically verified.

Yes, particularly cervicogenic headaches (caused by neck tension) and tension headaches. These headaches are often related to joint restrictions or muscle tension in the cervical vertebrae. Cervical adjustments, muscle therapies, and postural advice can significantly reduce their frequency and intensity.

The first consultation includes a complete health assessment, postural analysis, orthopedic and neurological examination, and a discussion of your goals. The chiropractor explains their findings, presents the proposed treatment plan, and answers your questions. An initial treatment may be performed during this same session depending on your condition. Bring any imaging results you may have.

Chiropractic care is not covered by the RAMQ. However, most private group insurance plans (group insurance, supplementary health insurance) reimburse a portion of the consultations. Check the terms of your coverage with your insurer. Consult our Pricing section or contact the clinic to find out the applicable fees.
