The Cooperative Approach To Spinecare
1 2
The Cooperative Approach To Spinecare
The patient may
have two or more problems, one surgical and another non-surgical, thus
requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
Common examples of conditions that may coexist include degenerative disc
disease, pain syndromes, disc herniation, arthritic disease, abnormal spinal
joint movement and radiculopathy.
The chiropractic physician and the neurosurgeon care for many of the
same degenerative spinal disorders at different ends of the disease spectrum.
Early-stage
spine disease is often best addressed by chiropractic physicians whereas
late-stage spine disease involving potential or actual neurological compromise
may require the attention of the neurosurgeon. Intermediate stages of spinal disease may require a
cooperative effort between the chiropractic physician and the neurosurgeon.
