Referrals:
If we cannot treat what is causing your pain, we will send you to a specialist who can. Not all causes of back pain can be treated with chiropractic. When necessary, our office works with the areas top specialists to assist in your treatment. In some cases it is necessary to refer out for further diagnostic testing such as MRI's, CT scans, bone scans or blood work. Depending on the results of these tests or your symptoms, it may be in your best interest to coordinate your care with a Pain Specialist, Orthopedist or Neurosurgeon.
Your Family Doctor:
On a daily basis, we work with our patients' family doctor so that we may coordinate what treatment or tests must be rendered. We find it works out best if everyone is on the same page and two heads may work better than one.
