Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Having back issues. I can feel my spine when I move, rubbing or creaking. Hard to explain but been going on for a couple years. Now I am starting to have a lot of pain in upper back. Not sure what kind of specialist to consult with first. Chiropractor or Orthopedic?
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
You need to consult a Neurosurgeon, who ia trained to treat such patients successfully. He will run a battery of tests on you to reach out to a diagnosis.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF
