Reasons to consult
The bars show the typical number of sessions needed based on our records — an average estimate, not a promise. Your plan is set after the evaluation.
The classic "thrown-out back." Treated from the acute phase, with movement advice rather than complete bed rest.
Pain radiating down the leg, numbness. Slow, closely monitored progress; we refer for imaging or medical care if neurological signs worsen.
Stiff neck on waking, one-sided tension, a raised shoulder. Often linked to your workstation: we look at both.
Pain starting at the neck and rising behind the eye. Keep a journal for two weeks before coming in — it helps enormously.
Runners, hockey, skiing, gym training: shoulder, hip, knee, low back. Soft tissue therapy and a gradual return to activity.
Table with support cushions, gentle techniques only, working on the pelvis and sacroiliac joints. Safe at every trimester.
Growing pains, an overloaded school bag, gamer posture, scoliosis screening. Very light pressure, adapted to age.
Arthritis, morning stiffness, loss of mobility. Goal: keep independence and the pleasure of walking, not to "fix" a 78-year-old spine.
The axis of treatment
Five steps, always in the same order. No one gets adjusted before we understand what's going on — and if your case isn't within our scope, we tell you and refer you.
History and exam
Your history, your work, your sleep, your sports. Then a neurological, orthopedic and range-of-motion exam. X-rays only if the exam justifies them — never as routine.
Diagnosis explained
We show you on a spine model what's blocked and why the pain shows up elsewhere. You leave with a written plan: estimated number of sessions, frequency, and the goal of each stage.
Adapted treatment
Classic manual adjustment, or gentle instrument-based techniques for seniors, pregnant women and those wary of the cracking sound. You choose, fully informed.
Home exercises
Three exercises, not fifteen. Filmed with you at the clinic and emailed to you, with the frequency and what you should feel — and what you shouldn't.
Re-evaluation and discharge
Re-evaluation after four to six sessions, using the same tests as at the start for an objective comparison. Once it's resolved, you're discharged. Maintenance follow-up exists, but it's never mandatory.
Rates
No package to prepay, no twenty-session contract. You pay per visit, and stop whenever you want. Receipt provided on-site.
Taxes included. Cash, debit, credit and mobile payment. Free cancellation up to 12 hours before your appointment.
Private insurance
Chiropractic care is covered by most group insurance plans, often at 80% up to an annual cap. An official receipt with the practitioner's Order membership number is provided at every visit, with direct billing available with several insurers.
CNESST and SAAQ
Work or car accidents: we complete the forms and bill the organization directly once the file is open. Bring your claim number.
Emergencies
Two time slots are kept open every day for backs that lock up in the morning. Call before 9:30am and we'll find you a spot that day.
What we don't do
No six-month care plans sold in advance, no routine X-rays, and no promises to cure conditions outside the scope of chiropractic care. When needed, we refer you to your doctor, a physiotherapist or a podiatrist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask us most often on the phone before a first assessment.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No. You can book directly. Some insurers require one for reimbursement: check your policy.
Does the adjustment hurt?
Usually not. The cracking sound is gas in the joint, not a bone moving. If you would rather avoid it, gentle instrument techniques give very good results.
How many sessions will I need?
You get a written estimate after the assessment, which we check at the re-assessment after four to six sessions. The bars next to each condition show the averages from our files.
Does my insurance cover chiropractic care?
Most group insurance plans cover it, up to an annual maximum. An official receipt with our Order membership number is given to you at every visit.
Can I come in while pregnant?
Yes, in every trimester. We use a table with support cushions and gentle techniques only.
