FAQS

It's essential to us that you feel comfortable and confident in our care. 

Here are some commonly asked questions to ease your mind.

Do I need a referral from a medical doctor to see a chiropractor?

You do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. Come on in! :-)

Are there any risks or side effects associated with chiropractic adjustments?

No medical intervention is without risk. However, through a proper and thorough assessment and treatment plan, risks can be mitigated. We will discuss this with you in detail, one-on-one with the chiropractor, on your first visit. 

How many sessions of chiropractic care will I need for my condition to improve?

In short, the number of sessions you might need depends on many factors. I will work collaboratively with you to establish a treatment plan that balances your goals while simultaneously assessing your response to treatment. No two people are the same, and each treatment plan is tailored towards the individual. 

Is chiropractic care covered by my health insurance, and what are the costs involved?

Many health insurance plans cover chiropractic care up to a certain amount. Contact your insurance provider for specific details for your coverage. You can find our fee schedule on our online booking calendar here.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic visit?

Your initial assessment is a combination of thorough history, physical exam, followed by a diagnosis. We will then work together to tailor a treatment plan to help you overcome the challenges you are currently experiencing. A first visit generally takes 45 minutes. 

You can schedule an appointment online here. We can’t wait to see you, and look forward to helping you move better!

How can I maintain the benefits of chiropractic care at home?

I am a firm believer that chiropractic care works symbiotically with eating well, better sleep, and exercise/ movement.

Does your team at the clinic offer bilingual services? I’m francophone! 

Oui ! Notre responsable administrative parle couramment l'anglais et le français et peut faire la liaison entre vous et le Chiropraticien si nécessaire.
