Educational Information Only

The information provided on DrStephane.com is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. This includes written content, videos, interviews, books, downloadable materials, presentations, descriptions of services, product information, social media content, and information about Upgrading The Brain®.

The website is designed to explain my background, philosophy, educational work, and professional services. It is not intended to provide an individual diagnosis or a treatment plan for any person reading the site.

Information presented here should not be used as a substitute for an examination, diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a physician or another appropriately licensed healthcare professional who is familiar with your individual health history.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Viewing this website, reading its content, submitting a contact form, sending an email, purchasing a product, downloading educational material, or communicating through social media does not create a doctor-patient relationship with Dr. Stéphane Provencher or Holistic Health Virginia.

A professional relationship is established only after the appropriate intake process has been completed, the person has been accepted for care, any required consent documents have been signed, and professional services have formally begun.

General information provided through this website should not be interpreted as personalized healthcare advice.

Medical Decisions and Treatment

Do not use information from this website to diagnose yourself or another person. Do not begin, discontinue, or change medication, supplementation, dietary restrictions, exercise, medical treatment, mental health treatment, or any other healthcare plan based solely on something you read or watch here.

Always discuss significant health decisions with the healthcare professional responsible for your care. This is especially important for children, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people taking prescription medications, and anyone with a diagnosed medical condition.

Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking appropriate care because of information presented on this website.

Emergencies

This website, its contact forms, email addresses, and social media accounts are not monitored as emergency services.

Do not use them to request help for an urgent medical or mental-health concern.

If you believe that you or another person may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the United States, anyone experiencing a mental-health or suicide crisis may also call or text 988 for immediate support.

Scope of Professional Services

Descriptions of chiropractic care, Sacro Occipital Technic® Methods, chiropractic craniopathy, functional and nutritional approaches, health coaching, organ-related chiropractic assessment, or other services are provided to help readers understand the nature of my work.

They are not recommendations that any particular service is appropriate for you.

The suitability of any evaluation or service depends on the person’s age, health history, symptoms, examination findings, current treatment, and other individual factors. Some concerns require medical testing, imaging, emergency evaluation, specialist care, psychotherapy, or services outside my professional scope.

Professional services are offered only where legally permitted and within the scope of the applicable professional license, training, and regulations.

Upgrading The Brain®

Upgrading The Brain® is an educational and personal-development method created to help people examine triggers, learned responses, emotional associations, and limiting beliefs.

It is not psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, or a replacement for care from a licensed mental-health professional.

The method is not intended to diagnose or treat a psychiatric disorder. Anyone experiencing severe depression, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, significant trauma symptoms, substance dependence, or another serious mental-health concern should seek care from an appropriately licensed mental-health professional.

Participation in an Upgrading The Brain® program or use of related educational material does not guarantee a particular emotional, behavioral, physical, professional, or personal result.

Nutrition and Dietary Supplements

Information about food, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathic preparations, or dietary supplements is provided for general educational purposes. It should not be interpreted as a recommendation that a particular product is safe or appropriate for every person.

Dietary supplements may cause adverse effects, interact with medications, affect laboratory results, or be inappropriate for certain health conditions. Product ingredients and instructions can also change. Read the current product label and discuss use with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Statements concerning dietary supplements have not necessarily been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

Testimonials and Individual Experiences

Testimonials, case examples, personal stories, and descriptions of individual experiences represent the experiences of the people involved. They are not promises, guarantees, or predictions of what another person will experience.

Health outcomes are influenced by many factors, including the nature and duration of the concern, age, medical history, adherence, lifestyle, concurrent care, and individual response.

No particular outcome is guaranteed.

Professional Opinions and Research

Some content on this website may discuss published research, emerging theories, clinical observations, professional opinions, or personal experiences.

A reference to a study does not mean that the study proves that a method, product, or service will produce the same result for every person. Research findings may be limited, preliminary, disputed, or later revised.

When I discuss my professional observations or personal interpretation of information, those comments should not automatically be understood as established scientific consensus.

Readers should review the original research and consult appropriately qualified professionals before making healthcare decisions.

External Websites and Products

This website may contain links to outside websites, studies, organizations, videos, products, books, services, or other resources.

A link is provided for convenience or further education. It does not necessarily mean that I endorse every statement, product, service, policy, or opinion found on the outside website.

I do not control external websites and cannot guarantee that their information will remain accurate, current, secure, or available.

Any financial, affiliate, sponsorship, or other material relationship connected with a recommendation should be disclosed where the recommendation appears.

Website Accuracy

I make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information. However, healthcare information, scientific research, professional standards, product ingredients, links, and regulations can change.

I cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current, or free from errors. Readers should verify information that may affect a medical, legal, financial, or personal decision with an appropriately qualified professional.

Electronic Communications

Email, website forms, text messages, and social media are not appropriate for emergencies.

Sending information electronically does not guarantee an immediate response and does not create a professional relationship. Avoid sending highly sensitive medical information through an unsecured form, ordinary email, or social media message.

Current patients should use the communication method provided by the clinic for clinical or administrative matters.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for deciding how you use the information presented on this website.
