What to expect during a visit?
There are 3 types of visits:
​
1. Initial consultation
In this visit, Dr. Mélodie will sit down with you and go over questions regarding your current condition (if you have one), your health history and your overall health. She will then proceed to do a physical examination. At the end of the visit, you may or may not get an x-ray prescription depending on your condition. There is no treatment at the first visit (some exceptions may apply).
2. Report of findings
At this visit, Dr. Mélodie will go over these points with you:
1) Results of the exam.
2) X-rays results.
3) Diagnosis.
4) Duration and cost of care.
On that day you will also receive your first adjustment.
​
3. Regular visits
Simply an adjustment using the technique best-adapted to your condition.
Is chiropractic covered by insurance?
Most government and private insurance cover part of your care. You can contact them directly to know exactly how much coverage you have. After every adjustment, we give you a statement so you can claim your insurance reimbursement. We can also provide you with a yearly statement. ​
