On your first visit, expect a comprehensive examination of your spine and nervous system:

- Static and dynamic palpation of your vertebrae, looking for swelling, abnormal movement, reduced mobility
- Orthopedic assessment
- Evaluation of the autonomic portion of your nervous system
- X-ray evaluation (done on site), if necessary
- Report of findings
Following this comprehensive examination, we can determine wether or not chiropractic care can help you.
Many misconceptions and beliefs shape people’s perception of chiropractic. It is the philosophy of chiropractic that offers a point of reference in understanding the processes of health and the lack of coordination within the human body.
Chiropractic is a distinct healing art that focuses on the body’s natural inborn ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Every day, our body strives toward maintaining the proper functioning and coordination of all its operational systems. Your nervous system carefully monitors this task. Your nervous system operates under the guidance of a precise entity: INNATE INTELLIGENCE. You have it in you. We all do!
This intelligent lifeforce flowing through your nervous system animates all your cells and body systems, allowing your body to function and prosper as a whole. As you are reading this text, your heart is beating at a precise rate, your brain is processing this intriguing information, your muscles and bones are correctly supporting your posture, and so on. Trillions of cellular exchanges are taking place daily inside your body. It is essential that these vital exchanges take place uninterrupted. Chiropractic aims at removing the number one cause of this interference to healthy living: VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS. This is what happens when the flow of information is disrupted by either physical, chemical, or emotional disturbances. These subluxations are detrimental to the proper functioning of the body.
Chiropractic’s number one aim is to locate, analyze, and correct vertebral subluxations.
Chiropractic is about restoring and promoting proper FUNCTION.
Chiropractic is about allowing your nervous system to operate to the best of its capacity.
Chiropractic is about physical wellness, biochemical wellness, and psychological wellness.
Chiropractic is about you being your best self.

A chiropractor, or “chiro”, is a health professional that aims to improve your health.
How? By optimizing patients’ vitality and joint mobility.
Did you know? In many countries, chiropractors are considered the first line of health practitioner.
Most private insurance plans reimburse a portion of fees. Inquire directly with your provider.
Note that in Quebec, the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) does not cover chiropractic care.
Many people seek chiropractic care when they have chronic pain, fatigue, lack of energy, digestive problems, muscle aches, numbness, and tingling. All of these issues can be addressed with chiropractic care.
A chiropractor treats all joints and the tensions linked to stress.
A patient can very well suffer from a painful back, which is not necessarily linked to a joint issue, but often to muscle tensions.
Please call us or send us an email below for accurate information.
Fees typically cover new patient fee, chiropratic & neurological examinations, as well as x-rays.
Please refer to the above section for the answer.
No, not necessary.
Many people believe a medical referral is needed to see a chiropractor, but for most cases, it’s not necessary!
In Quebec, chiropractors must follow a 5 year university program, offered by the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), which earns you a doctorate of chiropractic.
Then, you have to apply for and pass the Canadian (Chiropractic Canadian Board) & Quebec exams.
