Does Persistent Neck Pain Require A Consultation With A Chiropractor?
Question: I’ve had neck troubles with pain and limited ROM in the left side. Computerneck ive named it! The chiropractor said, after viewing the X-ray, that I had crumbled bones and spurs and a lot going on she said. Should I be seeing a chiropractor or an MD.my husband was a Dr. And he had little faith in chiropractors. What is your opinion? Who should I see? Is laser spine a prospect?
Brief Answer:
I need to see a spine specialist first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are some conditions such tighten muscles in the neck for example that may benefit from chiropractic procedures, but stenosis, lysthesis, herniated disc disease, etc. should be evaluated by a Spine Specialist, Orthopedic surgeon or Neurosurgeon.
Laser surgery is not so effective as it is said, especially when it comes to bone spurs.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
